Praying in a corridor between offices in the workplace
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, we are a group of people who pray on the fourth floor of the building where we work. We pray the Fajr prayer in a spot between the offices that is carpeted, but it is a passageway used to move between the offices. Is it permissible to pray there as a congregation, given that the mosque is close to the main building?
Answer:
This is not a main road, nor is it a public thoroughfare. A corridor or passageway is not a public thoroughfare. One may pray in it if it is pure.
