The Ruling on a Prayer Room in an Office and the Rulings of the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a prayer room take on the ruling of a mosque? And if there is a prayer room in the institution or office, and the mosque is more than two kilometers away from us, how do we pray?
Answer:
Yes, if you can hear the adhan without a loudspeaker, if the adhan is called without a loudspeaker and you can hear it, it is obligatory for you to go to the mosque. But if the mosque is far from you, and even if the adhan is called without a loudspeaker you cannot hear it, you pray in your office. The prayer room is not a mosque, and it does not take on the rulings of a mosque; rather, it is called a prayer room. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
