The ruling on praying behind the Sa'i and in the houses adjacent to the Haram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on praying up to the Sa'i in the Haram, if the rows are not shortened?
The Shaykh:
There is disagreement on this. As long as there is no dire necessity, he enters and prays with the rows from his house. Because if he prays behind the Sa'i and there is a possibility that he can enter and be with the rows, his prayer is a matter of strong disagreement, so he should not expose himself to the risk. No, he does not pray there. They pray in congregation for themselves. If they have an excuse, they pray for themselves in their houses. As for praying with the Haram, no, unless the Haram becomes narrow and the rows extend to their houses, we said as you heard.
