The Ruling on the Sutrah in the Haram During Crowds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if the Ka'bah is not crowded, is it prescribed for the one praying there to take a sutrah? He might be alone in a corner.
Answer:
In the Haram, they even said that all the mosques of the Haram are included, expanding the scope. They said the entire Haram, even what is outside the Mosque of the Ka'bah, because all of Makkah is a place where crowds are expected. All of Makkah is a place where crowds are expected, especially during the seasons, even in the other mosques in Makkah. It is a place where crowds are expected, and the matter is broad. Do not make it narrow. As long as Allah has made it broad, do not make it difficult for people. Yes.
