Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I come to the mosque during the prohibited times, and I do not pray the greeting of the mosque because of the reports (hadiths) that have come down. So, if I come to the mosque, do I sit down immediately, or do I remain standing even if the time is long?
Answer:
Do not remain standing. If you pray, there is no harm; if you sit, there is no harm. The matter is balanced, with a balanced disagreement, because each side has evidence. Those who prohibit the prayer have the evidence of the prohibition, and those who prescribe the prayer have the evidence of the command. If one of you enters the mosque, if you pray, there is no harm; if you sit, there is no harm. Do not remain standing. Yes.
