The ruling on the greeting prayer of the mosque when the people of a mosque do not consider it prescribed, and the reverse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the best course of action if I enter a mosque whose people do not consider the greeting prayer of the mosque to be prescribed during a time when prayer is prohibited? Is it better for me to sit or to pray?
The best course of action, if you enter the mosque during the times when prayer is prohibited, is that you pray the greeting prayer of the mosque. This is because the greeting prayer of the mosque has a specific cause, and any prayer that has a cause is permissible during the times when prayer is prohibited. So, if you enter the mosque, pray, even if they do not consider it so. Similarly, if a person who does not consider it so enters the mosque of a group who do consider it so, he should sit and not pray. These are matters of religion, unless you fear harm, such as them expelling you, speaking ill of you, or something similar to that. In that case, the matter is looked at in terms of public benefit and harm.
