The questioner : Praise be to Allah, I am well
The Shaykh : Okay, what do you have?
The questioner : Yes, a person entered the mosque without performing ablution; is he allowed to sit?
The Shaykh : Why did he enter?
The questioner : To sit, for example, with his friends, perhaps for a session of knowledge.
The Shaykh : He must not sit, and if he wants to sit, he must perform ablution, because there is no prayer for one who has not performed ablution, and it is not permissible for him to sit except after prayer, due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 1167 So he has the choice.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Either he performs ablution and sits and rests, or he remains standing in reverence for the ruling of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The questioner : Glory be to Allah, what a question, O Shaykh.
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
