Is it permissible to pray on the rooftops of mosques and in the sides of the mosque when the mosque is filled with people, especially when there is a funeral and people come to pray?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding praying on the rooftops of mosques, since some mosques cannot accommodate the worshippers when a person in the area passes away and a large number of people attend, and the mosque cannot hold these worshippers, some pray on the roof and some pray in the sides of the mosque. What is the ruling on that? May you be rewarded.
The Shaykh : This is permissible. It is permissible for a person to pray on the roof of the mosque, in the covered part of the mosque, and in the private room they call the basement, below, as long as the person is within the walls of the mosque, his prayer is valid. However, the closer he is to the imam, the better. As for praying around the mosque in the market, if the mosque is full, there is no harm, but if there is space in it, it is not valid. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The questioner says.
