Question:
A questioner from Britain says: Those who live in non-Islamic countries do not have an imam or a congregation. He asks: Are the Islamic centers that gather on the methodology of the pious predecessors considered the congregation?
Answer:
Yes, they turn to the head of the Islamic center, who takes the place of the Muslim authority. He contracts marriages, settles matters with people, and they turn to him as a small state within a large disbeliever state. Yes.
