The ruling on praying in the farm mosque without an imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. Shaykh Salih, your brother Abu 'Abdullah, sent a question saying: I hope this question is presented to Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan (may Allah preserve him). He says: My sons and I have a farm where we live, and we have a mosque, but it has no permanent imam or mu'adhdhin. Are we required to pray the five daily prayers in this mosque on the farm? It is known that at some times no one comes to pray in it. Is it permissible for me to pray in congregation with my sons in this mosque or in the house nearby?
Answer:
As long as this mosque is close to you, pray in it and do not abandon it. One of you should lead you, meaning one of your sons should lead you and recite from the Book of Allah the Exalted for you. You can also demand or request that the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and Affairs of Mosques appoint an imam and a mu'adhdhin for this mosque. Yes.
