Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This brother, Muhammad al-'Ulaqi, says: Our mosque in the neighborhood of our village delays the iqamah for the Maghrib prayer, and this delay is difficult for the worshippers. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
If it is difficult for the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam), then it is not permissible for him to do so. He must consider the circumstances of the ma'mum. Moreover, praying at the beginning of its time is better if it is feasible. Yes.
