The questioner : Shaykh, I have a question, but may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Go ahead.
The questioner : It is that tomorrow, if Allah wills, is the Eid prayer.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : The women going out for prayer in Suwaylih, do they take the school grounds or vacant land? Is this considered prayer outside the mosque, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Where do they want to pray?
The questioner : In specific school grounds or a vacant lot that was planted.
The Shaykh : The important thing is leaving the mosques for an open space that can accommodate the largest number of the town's worshippers; this is considered a prayer place, yes, provided there is no blameworthy matter in it.
The questioner : Yes, like what, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Like what? Anything, for example, if there are statues or idols there. I am speaking in general terms, out of caution.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good, our Shaykh.
