Can we perform qada prayers in congregation?

Qada prayers may be established witin congregation on condition that a person performs the prayer of the same time with the imam (Marghinani, al-Hidayah, I, 377; Harashi, Sharhu Mukhtasar, II, 39). Because the Prophet Muhammad (saw) could not find the opportunity to establish four times of prayer due to the severe conditions of the Battle of Trench, and performed them in congregation when the conditions allowed. The narrative of Abdullah ibn Mas’ud on this subject is as follows, “The idolaters kept Allah’s Messenger distracted from four prayers on the Day of Al-Khandaq (the battle of the Trench) until as much as Allah willed of the night had passed. So he ordered Bilal to call the Adhan, then he called the Iqamah to Zuhr, then he called the Iqamah to pray Asr, then he called the Iqamah to pray Maghrib, then he called the Iqamah to pray Isha.” (Tirmidhi, Salat, 20; Nasa’i, Mawaqit, 55; Tecrid Tercemesi, II, 535)
