Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man entered a mosque where the adhan is not called, because the mu'adhdhin usually does not pray the Fajr prayer and sleeps, and the imam is also absent and present. There are only two people in the mosque. Is it permissible for them to leave the mosque and pray in another nearby mosque and lock the mosque?
Answer:
No, they pray in congregation in the mosque, even if they are only two, and they do not leave the mosque unused. They pray in the mosque, even if they are only two, so that the mosque is kept in use. As for this mu'adhdhin and this imam, they should be reported to the authorities so that the authorities replace them with others.
