The Ruling on Praying in Front of the Imam in the Courtyard of the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on praying in front of the imam in the courtyard of the mosque, when there is no place other than this one?
Answer:
It is not permissible to pray in front of the imam; the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) must be behind the imam, just as they were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Those who pray in front of the imam have no prayer. This is a contradiction of the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The matter has not reached this point, for the land is vast, praise be to Allah, and there are many mosques. Yes.
