Calling the youth who gather in rest houses

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The presenter says: May Allah grant you success, Your Excellency, it is known that a large number of the country's youth have gatherings in places like rest houses and parks, where they sit for long periods. They may pray in those places or they may not. There is an urgent need for calling them to Allah and guiding them. What is your view, Your Excellency, on how such people should be called?

Answer:
This is the duty of the imams of the mosques, because those who gather in the rest houses are from the congregations of the mosques, the congregations of the mosques of the town; they did not come from far away. So the imam of the mosque should check on them, ask about them, and give them sincere advice, saying that gathering in the mosques is not gathering in the rest houses. Yes, there is nothing wrong with rest houses for resting and doing what is permissible there, but for worship and receiving knowledge, no, that is in the mosques. Yes.
