Salaat The Majlis Vol 28 No 04, p.3

A Mufti says that we should not say Jamaat Khaanah because Agakhaanis use this term for their places of prayers.

Question

A Mufti says that we should not say Jamaat Khaanah because Agakhaanis use this term for their places of prayers. He says that we should say Musallah. Is this right?

Answer

The Agakhaanis also say 'Allah', and they also use many terms which we use. It does not mean that we have to abandon saying 'Allah' because Aghakhaanis also say so. The word, Jamaat Khaanah is established in our community since time immemorial.
