Delaying the Zuhr prayer in an air-conditioned mosque and considering the congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you, O Shaykh. Regarding the heat, if the mosque is air-conditioned, is it possible to delay as well?
The Shaykh:
But the roads are not suitable for people.
The questioner:
Come, come. The last one, meaning.
The Shaykh:
It is better to delay when the heat is intense, unless it is difficult for the people. The people should be able to come without being cut off. If the imam sees that the congregation has increased, but he is mostly of the opinion... Hmm?
The questioner:
He sees that the congregation has increased, but specifically the mosque's congregation, he sees that some of them, and many of them, did not come. Does he consider the neighborhood's congregation?
The Shaykh:
As for Zuhr, the mosque's congregation, and among them are many who came from the neighborhood, for marriage, and other things, and they are the role models. Yes.
