Prayer in the Mosques of the People of Innovation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some people in our country attend and pray in the mosques of the people of bid'ah (religious innovations) and desires. When they are told about this, they say, "They are cleaner and more comfortable than the mosques of the people of the Sunnah." He asks: What is the response to these people? And is this action permissible for them?
Answer:
Going to them to rebuke them and teach them is fine, and displaying the Sunnah is a good thing. However, saying that they are cleaner and such is a false statement. This indicates that he prefers the people of bid'ah over the people of the Sunnah. The matter is serious in this regard. It is not that you do not clean the house of the people of the Sunnah, the mosque of the people of the Sunnah. Seek the reward and clean it, take the reward, or hire someone to clean it. Yes.
