Understanding the report of Abu Hurayrah regarding praying on the roof of the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the report of Abu Hurayrah that he prayed on the roof of the mosque behind the imam, does this imply that Abu Hurayrah prayed alone behind the imam?
Answer:
No, this is not valid in light of the previous hadiths in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited praying alone behind a row and ordered the person to repeat the prayer. The hadiths are interpreted in light of one another; one does not take some and leave others.
