Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible to pray in the street following the imam in the mosque, seeing the imam in the mosque?
The Shaykh : Praying in the street is permissible if the mosque is crowded and full, for the rows are connected. However, if there is a separation, it is not permissible for anyone to pray with the congregation while outside the mosque. Yes.
The questioner : If he means he sees the rows in the mosque, is it permissible?
The Shaykh : If he is in the mosque, whether he sees them or not, if he is in the same mosque. But if he is outside it and the rows are connected, naturally he will see the rows.
The questioner : Even on the stairs, with one person below.
The Shaykh : There is no harm, even if some are on the stairs and some in the doors, there is no harm.
