Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It has become so. The second one, may you live long, is a mosque on the main street, the street that goes to al-Taif and the one that goes to al-Baha, and the imam delays, and we do not go out until one-ten, and the line is closed from the left and from the right, for the one going and the one coming. Is there any guidance for the imam? May Allah reward you with good. Thank you.
Answer:
You should guide him and ask him to advance the prayer so that this hardship is removed, and he should observe the circumstances surrounding him and around the mosque. Advise him in this. If he does not comply, go back to the mosque administration in al-Baha to negotiate with him. Yes.
