Multiple Locations for the Festival Prayer in a Single City
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on performing the Eid prayer in multiple locations within a town? And is it not necessary to have conditions for the Eid prayer to be in one single place?
Answer:
Yes, the Eid prayer is to be in one place if possible; this is better, that it be in one place where the people of the town gather in one place for the Eid prayer. If that is difficult for them, or if they are scattered in the neighborhoods, then there is nothing wrong with each neighborhood taking a prayer place near them. There is no blame in that, according to need and the removal of hardship. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
