Leaving the congregation of the nearby mosque to catch the congregation at the gas stations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some of the young men are lax about attending the congregational prayer in the nearby mosque, on the grounds that they will catch another congregation in the prayer rooms located at the gas stations. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
No, this is not permissible for him. He should pray and rely on Allah, and pray in the neighborhood mosque. He should not say, "I will go up to the stations and pray there." This causes the congregation to be lost. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The mosque that is next to him, and he goes to the stations—what is this? Yes.
