Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Our Shaykh, we hope to meet you, but there is no time, there is no time.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: I do not know, I mean, I do not want to say what the woman said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when she came to him and said:.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!!
The questioner: We, our Shaykh, we hope to see you always.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The questioner: But we are unable, neither to speak on the phone, nor to see you face to face.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Helper.
The questioner: So we are deprived, that is the truth, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: We ask Allah to teach us and you what benefits us all.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: And to make it easy for us the means of meeting.
The questioner: Amen, Allah is the One to be sought for help.
The Shaykh: The important thing is the summary of the answer to this question.
The questioner: Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: At the very least, I say: Just as the one who catches the prayer and finds himself between the two prostrations, either he misses it until the time ends completely, or he prays it in the time of dislike.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: And here, too, we say: Either he misses the obligatory prayer, which is the congregation, or he prays it in the mosque in which prayer is prohibited. So here, as there, the same issues apply: The Muslim must choose the lesser of the two evils regarding his situation. We know that the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in those many hadiths that I cited at the beginning of my book, Warning the Prostrator, is that the prohibition is from the category of blocking the means to harm.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Just as the prohibition of prayer in the disliked times is also from the category of blocking the means to harm. So the operative cause is one. Just as prayer is permissible in the time of dislike, but it is disliked, especially if it is due to negligence, so too is prayer, the congregational prayer, permissible in this mosque, in which the original ruling is the prohibition of prayer, if he does not intend to pray in it, because it is a mosque with a grave in it, and he only intends to pray in it to fulfill the obligation of Allah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: This is the guidance regarding what you asked about.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner: Abu Islam has imposed on us that we not ask anything until he gives permission, so what is your opinion?
The Shaykh: That he should obey his order.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: May Allah preserve you... The question is repeated, meaning it is hidden because of this branch in a particular way, it is hidden.
The questioner: Hidden, yes.
The Shaykh: Yes, raise your hand, but here... it needs, it needs a funeral, it needs...
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: I do not know, I mean, I do not want to say what the woman said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when she came to him and said:
What if I do not find you? He said: Go to Abu Bakr
