The ruling on praying on the roof of the mosque and following the imam through loudspeakers

Question:
Fax questions. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: What is the ruling on praying on the roof of the mosque, given that we follow the imam through the microphone?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. Inside the mosque is the place for following the imam. If you hear the imam’s voice while you are inside the mosque, it is permissible for you, though it is better for the rows to be continuous and for you to be with the worshippers in the rows of worshippers. But if you do this and pray on the roof, relying on the imam’s adhan and the imam’s voice through the loudspeaker, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
