Quotes to remember

12. `A’ishah (ra) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The most hated person with Allah is the most quarrelsome person.” (al-Bukhari)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Is it necessary to see the Imam?

 


Question:

There is a mosque near to us and to the north side of it is a walled piece of land which is attached to the mosque. We would like to make it into a place of prayer for the women to pray in during Ramadhan; is this permissible, bearing in mind the fact that they cannot see the Imam and they can only follow (the Imam) via the loudspeaker?
Answer:

Regarding the correctness of their prayer, there is some disagreement among the scholars, if they cannot see the Imam or those behind him, but can only hear the Takbir; but it is safer for them not to pray on the land described, unless they find a place in the mosque behind the worshipers, or another place where they can see the Imam or some of the worshipers.
