The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer-01a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Ali ibn Hajar al-Sa'di narrated to me, saying: Ali ibn Masihr informed us, saying: Al-A'mash narrated to us from Ibrahim ibn Yazid al-Taymi, who said: .
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest! This is good evidence. So the original ruling for the earth is that prayer in it is permissible and valid. If someone says: "Prayer is not valid in this land," we say: "Bring the evidence," because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 520b
And this is undoubtedly good evidence. Accordingly, prayer in the road is permissible. But is it like prayer in the mosque or in the house? The answer is no, because the road is a place where people pass through, so they may disturb your prayer and confuse the matter, saying: "Do not pray in the road." But if one prays, there is no harm.
I used to recite the Qur'an to my father in the saddle. Whenever I recited a prostration verse, he would prostrate. I said to him, "O my father, do you prostrate in the road?" He said, "I heard Abu Dharr say: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the first mosque established on earth. He said: The Sacred Mosque. I said: Then which one? He said: Al-Aqsa Mosque. I said: How much time is between them? He said: Forty years. Then the earth is a mosque for you, so wherever the prayer catches you, pray."
كنت أقرأ على أبي القرآن في السدة فإذا قرأت السجدة سجد فقلت له يا أبت أتسجد في الطريق قال إني سمعت أبا ذر يقول سألت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن أول مسجد وضع في الأرض : قال المسجد الحرام قلت ثم أي قال المسجد الأقصى قلت كم بينهما قال أربعون عاما ثم الأرض لك مسجد فحيثما أدركتك الصلاة فصلThe Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest! This is good evidence. So the original ruling for the earth is that prayer in it is permissible and valid. If someone says: "Prayer is not valid in this land," we say: "Bring the evidence," because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The earth is a mosque for you, so wherever you are at the time of prayer, pray there.
ثم الأرض لك مسجد فحيث أدرَكَتكَ الصلاة فصلAnd this is undoubtedly good evidence. Accordingly, prayer in the road is permissible. But is it like prayer in the mosque or in the house? The answer is no, because the road is a place where people pass through, so they may disturb your prayer and confuse the matter, saying: "Do not pray in the road." But if one prays, there is no harm.
