Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for me to be alone and isolate myself from people in order to worship Allah (Mighty and Majestic), as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did when he used to go to Mount Thawr?
Answer:
The situation has not reached that point. You are among the Muslims, and praise be to Allah, you worship Allah night and day, and they encourage you and make du'a for you. This is not the state of the Messenger going to the Cave of Hira, where there was no Muslim at that time. Yes.
