Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We are in a small village, and we have three mosques for the obligatory prayers, and one mosque for the Friday prayer, where the people of the village have gathered for years, and we have been in this state. He says: Then a dispute arose among some of the young men, and some of them separated from the others, so they established another Friday prayer mosque, and this led to the division of the people of the village. His question is: Is their action correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct. They should fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and not create division among the Muslims and the people of the village. If there is something in the hearts of some of them toward others, they should be lenient, because they are Muslims and brothers. This should not extend to religion and prayer. They should leave this arrogance and this is good.
