Question

My question to the Mufti is that at present the government of Bangladesh has fixed the number of worshipers in the mosque. If more than this number participate in the congregation, they have to be the victims of police harassment. In this case, is it permissible for us to read more than one congregation in one mosque? 2734851289

It is not desirable to have more than one congregation in one mosque. However, if it is recited, then the prayer will be performed. So those who do not get Jamaat, they will go down to Jamaat at home or elsewhere. In the present situation, the second congregation should be avoided for two reasons. E.g.

  1. Since there is a ban from the government, if the second and third congregations are read in this way, the number of people coming to the mosque will increase. Which will be visible to law enforcement. As a precautionary measure, the government may issue an order to close the entire mosque. That is why the second and third congregations should not be held in the mosque.
  2. Thus, when the second and third congregations are introduced in the mosque, even if the state of emergency is gone, there is a fear that the second and third congregations will be used in the mosque for trivial reasons. Then the importance of the first congregation among the people will decrease. But it is not desirable to have more than one congregation in one mosque.Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakra narrated from his father. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) once came from an area of ​​Madinah to pray. He came and saw that the Companions had performed the prayer. Then he went to his house. Then he gathered the family and prayed in congregation with them. 6817782544
