The ruling on having multiple Eid prayer grounds in a small village
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek your fatwa, may Allah reward you. In some villages, a single village has more than one mosque. Consequently, the Eid prayer is performed in more than one place, even though the prayer grounds are close to one another, and the village is small. Is the prayer ground that was built later considered a mosque of harm? This is because it may have been built due to conflict and disagreement among the villagers.
Answer:
The issue of establishing mosques and Eid prayer grounds is referred to the judges and the central authority. One does not open a mosque for Friday prayer without permission. If this is in the Kingdom, nothing is opened without permission. They do not look at trees or images; if it is a wedding feast, they grant them permission, and if it is not a wedding feast, they prevent them from doing so. The matter is regulated, praise be to Allah.
