Question:
The questioner asks about the ruling on following the imam in prayer in the Sacred Mosque in Makkah, specifically regarding praying outside the mosque within the Haram and elsewhere.
Answer:
Praying outside the mosque is not permissible except in the case of the mosque being too crowded. If the mosque is full, people pray in the outer courtyards, provided they can see the imam. There are two conditions: the first condition is that the rows are connected, meaning the rows inside and outside are continuous. The second condition is that those outside can see those inside through a door or a window, so that they know when the imam bows and when he prostrates.
