The ruling on a sick person following the imam in his home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man is sick and is a neighbor of the mosque, but he is unable to go to the mosque. His question is: Is it permissible for him to follow the imam in his prayer, especially since the imam’s voice reaches him in his home?
Answer:
No, he does not pray in his home behind the imam. There are streets between them, and there is what prevents this, such as streets and cars, so he is disconnected from the imam. Yes.
