The last question, Abdullah. The last question, Honorable Shaykh: If one sees a very fast highway and is walking on this road, does he cross the road and go pray, or does he pray at home?
The Shaykh:
Yes?
The questioner:
This question. I am… I do not see, and I am walking on this fast road. The road is very fast, and the cars in it are speeding. I do not see if the same road… the cars hit me, and I am walking on this road. What do I do, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
The Shaykh: If there is danger to you, and there is a lane of cars between you and the mosque, and you do not have a driver, then you pray in your home, because this is an excuse for you: danger. Yes, indeed.
