The questioner : The Friday prayer did not become multiple until after the year 200, and the Salaf would bring people from the villages even if they were in the city, and the mosques were small among them. Were there few people in the city, but the people were few, so one mosque could accommodate them? And did the people pray outside the mosque?

The Shaykh : No, they pray outside the mosque. If they become numerous, they pray outside the mosque. For this reason, the scholars who prohibit prayer in the streets permitted the Friday prayer in the streets when the mosque is narrow. Yes.
