Standing alone in a row while offering Salah because of being allergic to air conditioners
Q: I suffer from an allergy in the respiratory system that often causes me pain, and I get irritated by air conditioners. There is a Masjid that is around five kilometers away from my house, at the end of which the air conditioners are turned off. Is it permissible for me and my children to
offer the Salah at the end of the Masjid (Part No. 6; Page No. 387)
by forming a separate row and following the Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer). This perhaps may be better than offering Salah at home due to my health condition, thereby obtaining the reward of offering the congregational Salah Insha'a Allah (if Allah wills)?
A:
If the reality is as you mentioned, that you suffer from such a condition and that there is no air-condition-free Masjid nearby, then it is permissible for you to offer Salah at the place where there is no air-conditioning inside the mentioned Masjid, but you should have someone join you in the row to avoid praying on your own, as Allah (Exalted be He) says:
So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can
.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
