Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In Western countries, there are some mosques in rented buildings, and the five daily prayers and the Friday prayer are held in these mosques. However, some Muslims who live near this mosque hold that prayer is not prescribed in it because it is a rented building and not owned by the worshippers. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
And as for the one who wants to pray with the congregation, he seeks an excuse for himself. He seeks an excuse for himself. He seeks from the one who said to him that it is not permissible to pray in a rented place. The one who said to him this: prayer is permissible in any place prepared for prayer, whether rented or not. And renting is for the sake of need and necessity in the lands of disbelievers and the lands of the West. This is a good deed. But this is not one who prays with the congregation, or one who prays. He throws it away and seeks this excuse for himself.
