Reverting Back to Congregational Prayer
Issue No. 1250- If because of a valid excuse the follower turns his intention into individual prayer during the congregational prayer, he cannot revert back to congregational prayer. Also, if he becomes doubtful whether he should change his intention to individual prayer or not, and eventually decides to continue the prayer with the congregation, the rulings of congregational prayer [as an obligatory precaution] do not apply to his prayer. However, if he doubts whether or not he had made the intention of individual prayer, he should consider that he had not made the intention.
