Permissibility of praying in the street if the mosque is not spacious enough
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! There are many small mosques in some villages that can accommodate only one, two, or three rows. Sometimes the owner of a house has a dinner or lunch gathering, and this mosque cannot accommodate them due to its narrowness. So, do they pray in the courtyard in the large hall that can accommodate them?
Is it appropriate to say: If the mosque is too narrow for its people, do they pray in the courtyard next to the mosque?We say: No.
If the mosque is too narrow for its people, they should pray even in the street, in order for the rows to be connected; because if he prays in the house, he is not with the congregation in reality. So they pray even in the mosque for the sake of connecting the rows.
