Istifta 15001 — Congregational Prayers

Which is better, prayering in congregation or praying individually?
Answer
Praying in congregation (Jama'at) with its conditions is preferable to praying individually. Its preference is stronger in the dawn, sunset and night prayers. A noble hadith says: "A salat [in congregation] behind a learned scholar is like [praying] a thousand cycles; and behind a Qurayshi is like [praying] a hundred cycles." As the number of the worshippers increases, the preference [and the reward] also increases.
