Jamaat salaah with social distancing
Question
Is Jamaat Salaah valid with the two-meter social distancing spacing?
Answer
The command of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is to join the saffs and not to leave gaps in between for shaytaan.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
