Ruling on women praying in congregation when they cannot see the imam

Question:
From one of the listening sisters in Riyadh, who indicated her name with the initials (A. N), a message containing two questions. In her first question, she says: There is a mosque in the neighborhood where we live, and behind it there is a place where women pray the tarawih prayer in Ramadan. This place is separated from the mosque by a wall, and some men exiting the mosque pass in front of it. We do not see the imam. Is the prayer permissible in the situation described? May Allah reward you with good. We have been praying in that place for several years. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If you can see the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam), or some of the ma'mum, then there is no harm. But if you do not see the imam, nor the ma'mum, then do not pray in this place. Pray in your homes, or open windows in the wall near you so that you can see the ma'mum. Otherwise, pray in your homes. As for the past, Allah forgives what has gone before; there is no blame regarding the past, because some scholars hold that there is no harm in this. However, the correct view is that if the place is outside the mosque, no one should pray in it unless they can see the imam or the ma'mum. One does not suffice with merely hearing the sound. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. But what if the building is attached to the mosque?

The Shaykh: Yes, there is no harm, like a private room or the like. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
