The Ruling on Sitting Without the Mosque Greeting in the Fajr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner is a Sudanese resident in the Kingdom. He says: The imam in our village there, and some of the worshippers with him, when they enter the mosque for the Fajr prayer, they sit and do not perform the greeting of the mosque during the Fajr prayer, on the grounds that he prayed the two rak'ahs of Fajr at home. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. If he sits, there is nothing wrong, because the time is a prohibited time. The prohibited time begins with the rising of the second dawn. So if he sits, there is no harm. And if he prays the greeting of the mosque as well, there is nothing wrong. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
