Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: On my way to the lesson, I found large groups playing football on the road. So I went to forbid them from it, and I forbade them, and they responded, praise be to Allah. But I was late for the prayer. Am I sinful?
Answer:
You did not intentionally delay the prayer, you did not intend this. So you are doing good and will be rewarded, if Allah wills.
