Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh clarified, saying: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:308 So, is our attendance at one of the school meetings to meet the new principal and follow the usual observations an excuse for not praying in the school and not going to the mosque?
Answer:
No, go to the mosque and pray, and then come back and meet the principal. There is a conflict between this and that. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
The Shaykh clarified, saying: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Whoever hears the call for prayer and and does not come (to the mosque for prayer), his prayer will not be accepted from him, unless he has a (legitimate) excuse."
صلى الله عليه وسلم من سمع النداء فلم يأت فلا صلاة له إلا من عذرAnswer:
No, go to the mosque and pray, and then come back and meet the principal. There is a conflict between this and that. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
