Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: In some mosques, there is an upper floor and a ground floor, and the imam prays in the upper floor with the congregation, while there are people praying in the ground floor following that imam. Is this permissible?
Answer:
There is no harm in that, as long as they are in the mosque and can hear the imam’s voice, there is no harm in that, even if they do not see the imam while they are on the lower floor. Yes.
