The excuse of rain in cities with paved streets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the excuse apply to the people of this time, especially those in cities when it rains, where the streets are paved and lit, and the mosque is heated and lit?
Answer:
It is not about the mosque; it is about the road. It is about the road. No, if you enter the mosque, there is no problem, but it is about the road. If the road has no mud and the rain has stopped, there is no excuse. Now, if the rain has stopped and there is no mud, there is no excuse. The excuse is only if the rain is falling, or if the rain has stopped but there is mud on the road. As for if it rained and the road is dry, with no water or slipperiness, then there is no excuse, even if they are walking in the streets.
