The Ruling on Praying the Obligatory Prayer at Home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Peace.
The questioner:
Yes. But, Shaykh, what is the ruling on praying in the house? This is the first question, and the second question is: what is the ruling on using the customary practice in Ramadan?
The presenter:
Thank you.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He asks his first question about the ruling on praying in the house?
The Shaykh:
The obligatory prayer is not permissible in the house; rather, one must pray with the congregation in the mosque, except for an excuse that prevents him from going to the mosque, such as illness or fear. As for if he is healthy and safe, it is obligatory for him to pray in the mosque with the congregation. As for the voluntary prayer, it is better to pray it in the house than in the mosque. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
