The ruling on parking a car in front of the mosque doors
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I ask you to point out to many of our brothers (may Allah guide them), for they attend the lesson, but many of them park their cars in front of the doors of the mosque’s neighbors, or in front of the gate of the parking area, even though many of the students of the mosque seek tranquility and find it difficult to exit, because these people have blocked them in.
Answer:
This is correct, and this action is not permissible. This is a form of harming Muslims by preventing them from their interests. If you want to park your car, look for a place where it will not harm anyone and park it there. If you do not find a place, park it even if it is far away. Do not park it in a place that harms or inconveniences people. Park it even if it is far away, and even if you have to walk several meters, do so. Yes.
