The Ruling on Praying on the Second Floor of the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: If the mosque has two floors, is it required for the person on the second floor to see the imam, or some of the congregation?
Answer:
The apparent ruling is that it is not required; because it is an extension of the mosque, like a private room in the mosque. It is an extension of the mosque if he hears the voice.
The presenter: If he hears the voice, that is sufficient.
The Shaykh: That is sufficient, if Allah wills.
The presenter: What if he does not see the imam, or some of the congregation?
The Shaykh: If it is an extension of the mosque, a structure attached to it, or a private room attached to it.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
