Yes, he said to maintain distance between people and then also skip a row.

There is no longer a valid difference of opinion. That was when scholars made rulings and interpreted the hadith based on medical knowledge available to them. Now based on what we know and can see with microcopes, it is a fact that contagious diseases exists, and therefore the hadith cannot be interpreted to mean there literally is no contagious disease. The only ones i have seen who are still pushing this interpretation are some Maulanas from South Africa and their followers.

Many good explanations of the hadith both clasical and modern are available all over the internet.

Why would they still have congregational taraweeh in the masjid in Pakistan? There is no need to in this situation.

Disagree (since the button has been taken away by the Forum).

This decision needs to be viewed in the context of Pakistan.

Grocery stores are open and Social Distancing rules are being flaunted.
Restaurants are open and Social Distancing rules are being flaunted.
Construction is open and Social Distancing rules are being flaunted.
Labour is open and Social Distancing rules are being flaunted.
Conspiracy Theories are being spread (Mufti Taqi Saheb specifically mentions this).

Ulama are suggesting to OPEN Mosques and teach people Social Distancing & FACTS via Imams etc and including Taraweeh. This is SUPERB idea and EXACTLY how Mosques/Imams should function PROVIDED that it is implemented properly.

This should be viewed in the context of the society and population.

It is good decision PROVIDED that it is implemented properly.

Mosques and Imams need to play an active role in society and move people away from Conspiracy theories and fake measures.

You are a trouble maker who deliberately overlooks FACTS, builds straw man arguments and then demolishes them. From day 1, Ulama of Pakistan have taken a fairly logical stance which is:

Take Precautions
But disease spreads as per the Will of Allah Ta'ala and not randomly

But the South Africans DO or DO NOT believe has nothing to do with the issue.

You have been deceptively misleading people about "British issues" based on "South African opinions" and now you are shoving South African opinions down the throats of Pakistanees.

Shame on you!

The above post makes clear once again that Muadh deliberately misinterprets and misreads posts just to carry out personal agendas against others. Either that or he has serious comprehension issues. It is clear I was responding to msidiqui's post on "no contagious disease." Everyone can see I was not referring to anything hapening in Pakistan. Perhaps Muadh's friends can save him the embarrassment and advise him.

It does work, it just doesn't work in the debates section where this might end up!

This post has been reported. It could be due to breaking rules or something as simple as bad use of bbcodes which breaks the page format. We will attend to this soon.

I agree with this if the rules are not followed.

If Fajr and Jummah MUST be kept VERY short due to the chances of spreading the virus, then how will Taraweeh be offered? Taraweeh will take much longer unless they plan on not completing the Quran. I'm sure Marathons will be out of the question.

The Masjids are fuller, gaps will not be possible, chances for spreading the virus will be increased.

There will be more deaths likely during the second half of Ramadan :(

I grew up in Pakistan and did Taraweeh for years and years of my life. During Summers, Taraweeh is done on the Roof or Courtyard or Outdoors in many Mosques.

This means Solid concrete Floors or Tiles etc (similar to Haram).

Mufti Taqi Usmani (HA) or (maybe Mufti Muneeb) I can't remember who says that the floor needs to be disinfected with Bleach regularly, so here is the scenario:

Solid Floor
Everyone 6 Feet Apart
Each alternative row is skipped
Floor washed and disinfected. By this way, the outdoor surfaces get washed between Asar and Maghrib in most Mosques in Pakistan, getting ready for Maghrib and Taraweeh.

So again in an outdoor environment this can be "implemented". We are not talking about Europe where Mosques are indoors and carpeted.

"In Theory" this isn't a Health risk. In my opinion and experience, it "can work".

It will appear when they're are about 3 disagrees on a post.

This was discussed recently and things were changed as posts were being disagreed with just because one person voted disagree.

So I must ask: would you send your kids to 20 rakah taraweeh in Pakistan in the current situation? Or let your kids go to prayer 5 times a day in Pakistan in the current situation? Or a big jumuah?

I sure hope brothers in Pakistan on this forum do not take your words too seriously and fall ill!

How will you populate the masjid if all the musallis die? The saff will keep shrinking and disappearing. Who will go to masajid then? Isn't this the exact way of emptying the masjid and pushing people away from the deen?

Remember there was a time when Muslims invented medicine...

They are allowing certain industries to start operating, restaurants will deliver food up till 5 in the evening, similarly there are various shops still open where there is an even more unruly crowd at most of the times. So the question is, why single out the mosque as a place of danger? Do you even realize what that implies?

Five times Salah at masjid should be performed. But 20 rakah taraweeh is a big no. It is in fact the sunnah of Rasulullah صلی الله عليه وسلم to pray taraweeh at home. Brothers should remain pleased with the will of Allah and should rather make shukr that they are getting the opportunity to fulfill this sunnah as well.
