The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have in the marginal note of the book that the festival prayer is to be performed in the open field, except in Makkah, where it is preferred to be performed in al-Masjid al-Haram. He asks: Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
It exists.
The questioner:
I have in the marginal note of the book that the festival prayer...
The Shaykh:
Is the marginal note printed, or is it handwritten in ink?
The questioner:
I have in the marginal note of the book...
The Shaykh:
Because if it is handwritten, it is possible that some of the brothers or some of the students wrote it, and it may be an error. But if it is printed, that indicates it was taken from a book or from the words of the scholars. Yes.

Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
It meets the need.

The Shaykh:
Yes, that is so. In Makkah, they do not go out; they pray in al-Masjid al-Haram. This was the case in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for Madinah and the other mosques, the Sunnah is that they go out to the open field. Yes.
