Ruling on Reserving Spaces in the Mosque for Regular Attendees
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh. One of the listening brothers says: The mu'adhdhin of the mosque reserves two spaces for two men on the grounds that they are elderly and that they are regular in attending the mosque. I go to the mosque before them, and I told him that it is not permissible for him to do that. Is what I said correct?
Answer:
If they come, even if they are late, and they are consistent in coming, there is nothing wrong with reserving the space for them and keeping them close to the imam. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
