Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: Some Muslims in one of the disbeliever’s countries want to pray the Friday prayer, so they rented a dance hall. Yes? He says: May Allah reward you. Some Muslims in one of the disbeliever’s countries want to pray the Friday prayer, so they rented a dance hall to perform the Friday prayer in it for a fee they pay, knowing that this dance hall operates throughout the week except on Friday, when it is emptied for them, and after that, work in it resumes as it was?
Answer:
If they cannot find anything else, and the dance hall is pure, and there are no images in it, and nothing of the disbelievers’ symbols, then there is no harm in it for the one who is prevented.
