Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A neighbor prevents his neighbor from the mosque and says, "Do not pray with us in this mosque, go to another mosque." Is it permissible for him to prevent you?
The Shaykh:
Why? What is the reason? No, it is not permissible, it is not permissible to prevent access to the mosque, but they should reconcile between them, it is reported that they reconcile between them, it is not permissible to prevent access to the mosque, this is a mistake. Yes.
The questioner:
And he threatens him, saying if you do not do it.
The Shaykh:
He advises, he advises, but that is if he wants to get away from his own place so that the evil is avoided, but the neighbors are not to be expelled, if they know, they speak to him, they advise him, he should refrain from this,
The questioner:
But this man has the right to pray.
The Shaykh:
Lord of the worlds, He said, and enjoin upon each other truth, He said[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the authentic hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 6951 agreed upon as authentic, He said, and Allah is the helper of his brother, Muslim narrated it in the Sahih, so the neighbors help each other, if one of them makes a mistake, they stand up against him, do not be shy, do not be shy in the face of anyone from the House of Allah, dozing off, and who is more misguided than the one who sleeps in the path of enmity, may Allah protect us from this, no one is more misguided than this type, we ask Allah for well-being.
The questioner:
But if this man goes to another mosque to remove the harm, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
He expresses his opinion against him, may Allah reward him with good, but it is not permissible to approve of this oppressor, he should be taken by the hand and advised, as for that one, he should stay away from the evil, he goes to another mosque,
The questioner:
And he is rewarded for that.
The Shaykh:
He is rewarded if he leaves the quarreling and goes to another mosque so that no harm occurs.
