Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from France says: We have a mosque in our country where we pray the Friday prayer. He says that due to the large number of worshippers, some of the worshippers pray in the street, and this is prohibited in that country. We have been threatened with the closure of the mosque because of this. His question is: Is it permissible for some of the brothers to be absent from the Friday prayer in order to prevent these people from praying, so that our mosque is not closed?
Answer:
But Allah has made it spacious; they will provide you with another mosque. Look for another mosque and another suitable place to pray in. Yes.
