Preventing soldiers from allowing people to enter the camp during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh! There is a soldier at the entrance of your camp preventing people from entering the camp during prayer, and the door is locked. I ask for your guidance and advice, especially since many people want to seek a ruling and benefit from your sessions. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This does not prevent entry. O soldiers, do not prevent anyone during prayer, nor at times other than prayer. You must listen to the people; the one who prays with the people, and the one who listens for benefit, no one is to be prevented.
