Is the prayer valid behind one who believes that Allah is everywhere and calls to that?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. A questioner asks: O honorable Shaykh, is the prayer valid behind one who believes that Allah is everywhere and calls to that?
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah, I seek refuge in Allah. Is it possible for a believer to say that Allah is everywhere? Tell me, people?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : It is not possible, O our brothers. Is it possible for a believer, if he goes to the bathroom, to say that Allah is in the bathroom? No sane person would say that, let alone a believer. We ask Allah for well-being. O people, fear Allah. It is not possible for a believing person who believes in the greatness of the Lord and knows the status of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to say that Allah is everywhere. Then, if we descend to the specifics, if we are in the mosque, Allah is in the mosque, and if we are in the street, Allah is in the street. The rest of the words on this matter will come, if Allah wills.
The student: Tomorrow, if Allah wills. The lesson is tomorrow, if Allah wills.
