Following Rules While in Jama‘at

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah respected Mufti sahib

Last week we were in Bahrain with a (masturat) Jama‘at. We were staying near the house where masturat was staying. It was decided in mashwarah that for Shab-e-Jumuah, the men will go to the markaz which was about 4-5 kilometers from the house. A brother however said that when we are in masturat Jamat, men should not go far from the house where the masturat are staying although the markaz was hardly 8-10 minute drive from the house i.e. the women were in a very safe home.

What is the ruling regarding this brother’s statement in the light of Quran and Sunnah? Was it a mistake for the Jama‘at to go to the markaz?

الجواب وباللہ التوفیق

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah

When you are part of a Jama‘at it is incumbent upon you to follow its rules and regulations. This is due to the reason that these rules and regulations are put in place with underlying maslihat (significances) and to bring discipline. Following such rules is a cornerstone of success. Following such rules becomes of additional importance when travelling in a Jamat with masturat. In case that due to a legitimate reason if a rule is not followed at an occasion, being overly sensitive about is not advisable either.
