The Shaykh : Regarding the problem they raised concerning the prayer halls, has anything become clear?
The questioner : Nothing has become clear. In fact, last night I tried to call the security director but could not reach him, and I tried to call the governor as well but could not reach him. So the matter remains unknown to us. It is a general issue, not a specific one.
The Shaykh : Be patient. How do you mean general?
The questioner : I mean that the prohibition is not for a specific prayer hall.
The Shaykh : No, that is certainly distributed in...
The questioner : And most of the prayer halls were prohibited, except for some.
The Shaykh : The one who defies.
The questioner : The one who defies, and there was a fear that a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) would occur. For example, Abd al-Mun'im Abu Fada threatened the security forces that if blood reaches Burkan...
The Shaykh : I mean, either the prayer hall or the shedding of blood.
The questioner : So the Arab University prayer hall, which is in the Shamsan area, was also surrounded and prohibited. For the Ittihad prayer hall, they brought large cars and placed them inside the prayer hall. Another prayer hall was burned, meaning they brought the dirt!
The Shaykh : Bulldozers...
The questioner : Bulldozers.
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah.
The questioner : And they piled the dirt in it.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : I mean, every prayer hall has its own specific method.
The Shaykh : That is certainly the case, since they distributed it among the mosque imams that it happened that there is no prayer except in the mosque.
The questioner : It is not the necessary strictness, meaning that they were not completely prohibited. So the prayer halls in al-Hashimi, the one upstairs, the school, and the one in the station, when the people said no, we want to pray, they entered and sat in the mosque, they did not come, for example, and pray with the people. They remained silent and took the audio equipment, they took it, and did not prohibit it. They remained standing. It does not appear that there was a type of strictness. If they had been ordered with this strictness and riot control, they would have said, prohibit by any means.
The questioner : I mean, that it reaches the point of defiance.
The questioner : That is what appears to be the case. I think Allah knows best. I expect that if we had been able to, they would not have done it.
The Shaykh : Our problem is that our prayer hall was filmed.
The questioner : Yes, they closed the door.
The Shaykh : Yes, if there had been space, we would have prayed.
The questioner : Nothing has become clear. In fact, last night I tried to call the security director but could not reach him, and I tried to call the governor as well but could not reach him. So the matter remains unknown to us. It is a general issue, not a specific one.
