Ruling on delaying the prayer in order to listen to a religious program
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From Aswan, the Arab Republic of Egypt, a listener to the program says: Your Eminence, when the time for the Maghrib prayer, or any other prayer, arrives, it is also the time for beneficial programs like this one, or any other useful religious program. I prioritize listening to the program over the prayer until the program ends. Is my action correct?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with prioritizing listening to the program, or the circle of knowledge, or the scholars' lesson, as long as the time is ample; because this program is missed if one does not listen to it, while the time for the prayer is ample, praise be to Allah. So if one delays the prayer in order to listen to this program, or to listen to a sermon, or something similar, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
