596. Commentary:
The fundamental ruling is indeed as stated, and its wisdom is clear: the local imam and congregants are well aware of each other's habits and circumstances, whereas a visitor is generally not, and this could cause difficulty for the congregants. However, if they desire it and the imam grants permission, then without doubt it is permissible.
