The Ruling on Praying on a Mount in the City
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on praying the voluntary prayer on a mount for a resident?
Answer:
This is not permissible except in the case of heavy rain. In the case of heavy rain, one prays the obligatory prayer on a mount. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions did so when they reached a narrow place where the rain was falling on their heads and the water was beneath them. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went ahead on his mount, and the Companions on their mounts, and he led them in prayer on their mounts. This is specifically for the obligatory prayer in this particular situation. Yes.
