Is it permissible for a praying person to combine the two prayers in a mosque or prayer hall where all the prayers are not performed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
Al-Halabi : Is it permissible to combine the two prayers in a prayer hall where all the prayers are not performed, or in a mosque where all the prayers are not performed?
The Shaykh : In that case, the question is also incomplete. Why combine? Does he want to say, for example, in the rain?
Al-Halabi : Of course, for the excuse of rain, for example.
The Shaykh : All right, in that case, if this prayer hall serves the function of a mosque, meaning people gather in it and leave their homes or their shops, then it is permissible for them to combine with this legal excuse. However, if they are, and this question has been asked about them often, in a company where there is a room in the company, or in a government department where there is a prayer hall, meaning a room, is it permissible for them to combine? The answer is: No; because these people are like the one who moves from room to room. These people do not have this kind of combination. But if the prayer hall, whether it is a prayer hall or a mosque, requires people to leave their shelters, their homes, or their shops, then it is permissible for them to combine.
Al-Halabi : Even if they are in a commercial complex or something, meaning the distance between the farthest shop and the mosque is about one hundred meters, or one hundred and fifty meters, is it the same?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
Al-Halabi : This is not a gathering of questions. If one of them...
The Shaykh : Let them have their freedom.
