The ruling on praying in congregation in an apartment next to the building's prayer hall
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah expand your horizons. We live in an apartment, and there is a prayer hall next to the building where we live, and the call to prayer is made there for all the prayers. Is it permissible for us to pray in our apartment, knowing that we are a group, and knowing that the mosque has not yet been completed, and that this prayer hall was placed there until the construction is finished?
Answer:
Pray with your brothers as one congregation, and do not split up. Islam commands gathering together, so as long as you have a prayer hall where the call to prayer is made and your brothers gather there, pray with them, and do not pray as a separate congregation while you are close to them. Yes, Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
