Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is called the seven mosques, is it prescribed to follow them and pray in them?
Answer:
No, this is an innovation. This is an innovation with no basis in Islam. It is obligatory to demolish them and remove them. An order to demolish and remove them has been issued by the Department of Islamic Affairs and the Council of Senior Scholars. Some of them have been removed, praise be to Allah. We ask Allah that the rest of them be removed.
