Is it recommended to make the roofs of mosques in the shape of domes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner asks: Is it recommended to make the rows of the mosque in the shape of a pulpit?

Answer : There is nothing wrong with this, because these domes generally have openings that provide ventilation for the mosque. They also say that rain does not remain on the dome; it disperses to the right and left, which prevents water from settling on the mosque roof and falling on the worshippers.
