Missed prayers (qada) can be performed in congregation, provided that the imam and the followers are making up the same prayer. (Merghinani, al-Hidaya, 1/59; Harashi, Sharh al-Mukhtasar, 2/39) Indeed, under the difficult conditions of the Battle of the Trench, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was unable to perform the prayer on time; later, when circumstances allowed, he performed the missed prayer in congregation with his companions. (Muslim, Masajid, 205 [627]) In addition, while returning from the conquest of Khaybar, they once overslept at a stop and made up the missed morning prayer in congregation after sunrise. (Muslim, Masajid, 309 [680])
