The ruling on the presence of lines on mosque carpets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Are the lines found on the carpets in mosques considered a bid'ah (religious innovation) or a deviation from the way of the Salaf?
Answer:
There is excessive effort involved in them, and also, the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) become accustomed to them and do not care about preparing themselves or paying attention. As long as there is a line, he stands on that line and that is enough. Yes.
