Praying in a mosque with sewers passing underneath it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 17144 )
Q: We have a mosque that was built by people of good, and then expanded by people of good, but sewers for the bathrooms of other residences pass under its ground, and they are approximately 80 cm lower than the mosque's ground. Is it permissible for them to remain under the mosque's ground and for prayer to be performed in it?
A: There is no harm in praying in the mosque or the land, even if the sewers pass under that mosque or land, as long as they are sealed and nothing comes out of them
onto the place of the worshippers, because there is nothing that prevents prayer. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
