The circumstances in which it is prescribed to pray in one’s place of rest

Question:
A listener who has indicated his name by the letters (M. A. B. Y) asks Your Eminence: I read a saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): When does a person pray in his place of rest, and is this saying attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
Yes, this is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during times of rain and slippery conditions. The mu'adhdhin says: “Pray in your places of rest” when he says: “Hayya ‘ala al-salah” ... He says: “Pray in your places of rest,” “Pray in your homes,” or after the adhan: “Pray in your homes,” if there is hardship for the people due to rain, or slipping in the markets. Ibn ‘Abbas did this in Ta’if; he ordered the caller to announce it, and he reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) practiced it. This is a matter of mercy for the Muslims, compassion for them, and gentleness with them.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
