About This Book

Praying in congregation is one of the most visible expressions of Islam and a practice that ties individual worship to the life of the whole community. In Congregational Prayer, Dr. al-Sadlaan works through the main fiqh (jurisprudence) questions connected to praying together.

The book explains the purpose behind congregational prayer, its legal status, and how and where it should be performed, with attention to the mosque, the month of Ramadan, and the participation of women. It is written with imams and community leaders in mind, though any Muslim who wants to understand the rulings behind a practice they take part in daily will find it useful.
