Hadeeth forbidding a person near a mosque from praying in any other place Fatwa No: 9781
- Fatwa Date:8-1-2008
Is there a Hadeeth ordering the person who lives near a mosque not to pray in any place other than this? Please advise. May Allaah reward you.
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
Ad-Daar Qutni, Al-Haakim and Al-Bayhaqi narrated the Hadeeth in which the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, forbade the person who lives near a mosque from performing his prayer in any place other than the mosque. Ibn Al-Jawzi considers this Hadeeth fabricated, however Al-Albaani considers this Hadeeth Dha‘eef.
Therefore this Hadeeth is Dha‘eef, but its meaning is narrated in a Saheeh Hadeeth. Read Fatwa 82538.
Allaah knows best.
