Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling for a person who is performing 'Umrah or Hajj and is praying in the apartment he has rented in the hotels adjacent to the Haram, following the imam of the Haram?
Answer:
So what is permissible is that he follows the imam of the Haram while he is in the apartment, looking out and praying with the Muslims, and he is in the rows, not praying in his isolated apartment. And if he prays alone, his prayer is invalid, because there is no prayer for a single person behind the rows. Yes. And likewise, if there is a market or a street between him and the Haram, his prayer behind the imam is not valid. Yes.
