The Ruling on the Women’s Prayer Area in the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh was born. We heard from some of the brothers that Your Eminence undertook to say that the person praying in the disputed prayer area in this mosque is permitted to welcome his day, and that is because he enters through a separate gate outside the mosque. Is this correct?
Answer:
This is a matter I did not know about. Is this fatwa something I did not know about? No, I do not say this, and I do not say it is evil. I say that the women's prayer area in this mosque is part of the mosque, considered part of the mosque, because it is inside the mosque's wall, within the mosque's perimeter, and has a gate leading to the mosque, so it is an annex to the mosque, and it is not obligatory to enter the sanctuary to pray in it.
