The questioner:
We ask your permission, Honorable Shaykh, to take these calls, and we begin with a call from our brother Abu Mashari from Riyadh. Go ahead, my brother Abu Mashari. Peace be upon you. Abu Mashari is with us. Go ahead. Peace be upon you. Peace. And upon you, peace. Welcome, may Allah keep you in good health. May Allah keep you in good health. May I speak to the Shaykh, may Allah prolong your life? Please, Shaykh. May Allah keep you in good health, Shaykh. May Allah keep you alive, go ahead, he is listening to you, go ahead. How are you? May Allah preserve you, your question, may Allah preserve you. Shaykh, last year my children and I were traveling. And then, may you live long, we prayed inside what is called Mada'in Saleh. What is the ruling on our prayer? We prayed the midday and afternoon prayers.
The Shaykh:
You know Mada'in Saleh and its boundaries.
The questioner:
We entered from inside, may Allah preserve you, but the time for prayer came and we prayed, and people told us afterward that it is not permissible to pray inside the city.
The Shaykh:
Since you prayed while you did not know that, may Allah forgive you, but do not return to such a thing, but if you know the boundaries of Mada'in Saleh. Yes.
