Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: Is the prohibition against worship and prayer in the resting places and areas of camels one of prohibition (haram) or dislike (makruh)? And what is the wisdom behind that?
The Shaykh:
What is this?
The questioner:
Is the prohibition against worship and prayer in the resting places? Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh:
We are prohibited from praying only in the grazing grounds of camels. We do pray in the grazing grounds of camels. As for the wisdom and why? Allah knows best. We do not know. It is established with us that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited prayer in the grazing grounds of camels, so we avoid it. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Does this include the areas of sheep and cows?
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted prayer in the resting places and grazing grounds of sheep. Shall I pray in the resting places of sheep? He said: Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, and Allah knows best.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
