  • Did Ghamidi Sb Change View Regarding Congregation

    Posted by Abdullah Ziyad on May 30, 2025 at 1:27 am

    Assalam O Alaikum! I previously saw Ghamidi sb video in which he said praying in Masjid is recommended not obligatory. I saw a podcast of his with Hafiz Ahmad in which he was asked that when he faced threats why did he continue to pray in Masjid isn’t one allowed to pray in home? To which he replied that Masjid was very near his home and when it is so near then one can stop peaying in Masjid for a valid reason otherwise not. I am unsure:

    1. has he changed his position?

    2. or is he saying that when it is really near one is obliged to pray in Masjid?

    3. Or he just answered that it is better to pray in Masjid but he himseld did not wosh to leave praying in Masjid except for valid reason.

    The legal position is the same. Congregational prayer is not made obligatory. But not everything is gauged in legal terms. Man’s relation with God demands that one should have a valid reason for not attending the congregational prayer in the mosque when it is near to his place.
