The Narrowness of the Market Mosque and the Large Number of Worshippers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And I said: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the market mosque is small and the congregation is large, is the congregation to be accommodated?
The Shaykh:
If what?
The questioner:
If the market mosque is small and the congregation is numerous, is the congregation to be repeated, or is it obligatory to do so before it so as not to cause confusion for the Muslims?
The Shaykh:
I did not understand the question. If the mosque is too narrow for you, there are other mosques, my brother. Go to the mosques, and there are many of them, and so on. Go to the mosques and pray in them. You will return to work. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
