The ruling on closing shops for the congregational prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And he asks about closing shops for the sake of the congregational prayer, and there are those who call for not closing them?
Answer:
This is misguidance, the one who advises against closing shops during the prayer; this is misguidance, may Allah protect us from it. The shops are closed during the prayer[An-Nur 24:37]. And the blessing descends.
If a Muslim maintains his prayers in his buying and selling, it has a great impact. His prayer with the congregation has a great impact on blessing and good.[An-Nur 24:37-38] He increases them from His bounty. So the congregational prayer does not decrease your provision in any way; rather, it increases it and blesses it. Yes.
