Question:
After this, a message from one of the female listeners. The sender, Maimun, asks and says: I am a twenty-year-old girl who has never fasted Ramadan because I was a shepherdess in remote areas, and due to the conditions of extreme heat, thirst, and hunger. Do I have to fast now? And if so, what do I do about the past years? May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Knowing that the number of years I did not fast is many. May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
Answer:
It is obligatory for him, his children, and his guests to pray in the mosque near them, and it is not permissible for them to separate and divide from the Muslims. It is obligatory for him, his children, and his guests to pray in the mosque near them, and there is no option for them but that, because the more numerous the congregation, the better it is. Also, separating from the congregation makes it not permissible. If his dislike of the imam is a personal, psychological dislike for personal reasons, this does not allow him to pray alone or separate from the congregation. However, if he dislikes him for his religion, because he commits matters that undermine his imamate, then it is necessary to look into his case with the authorities, because his case is to be raised to the authorities so that they replace him with someone better qualified for the imamate. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you.
