The ruling on praying on the roofs of houses or in the courtyards near the mosque when there is a need

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In one of the villages, there is a small mosque that is not sufficient for the worshippers, especially on Friday. They are forced to empty and clear the houses near this mosque so they can pray in them. It is known that there is no other mosque in the village. The question is: Is their prayer permissible?

Answer:
If the mosque is full and the rows extend into the houses, and there are distant gaps between the mosque and the houses, there is no harm in praying on the roofs of the houses or in the courtyards around the mosque, or in the open area around the mosque, provided the rows are connected from the inside and the outside. There is no harm. Yes.
