The questioner : Is the prayer valid outside the mosque if the mosque is crowded with worshippers?
The Shaykh : Yes, if the mosque is crowded with worshippers, they should pray even in the street, because this is a dire necessity and a pressing need. However, if the mosque is not crowded with worshippers and they pray outside the mosque, their prayer is invalid, because it is obligatory that the prayer be performed in the place of the imam where he is praying, except in cases of dire necessity. Yes.
The questioner : The questioner says, "Your Eminence, the Shaykh."
