Praying in the Haram during the crowd without bowing or prostrating
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. During one of the seasons in the Haram, I prayed while standing. It was a time of great crowding, so I did not bow or prostrate because of the large number of people bowing and prostrating and the density of the crowd. Is that permissible for me?
Answer:
It would have been better for you to pray outside the crowded Haram. There are many mosques in Makkah, praise be to Allah, and you could have prayed in one of them. But if you entered al-Masjid al-Haram and encountered a crowd that you did not expect, but it happened to you, then you pray according to your situation, praise be to Allah. You bow and prostrate with the people as much as possible. Your prayer is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
