Question
Why do you say that Salaat behind the Imaams of the Haram Shareef is not valid? I did not see any standing urinals in Makkah and Madinah.
Answer
Nowhere in any of our pamphlets did we say that Salaat behind the Imaams of the Haramain Shareefain is not valid. What we mentioned is that the Salaat of a Hanafi behind a musaafir Imaam who performs four raka'ts instead of the mandatory two, is not valid. That applies to even a Hanafi Imaam who performs four raka'ts or a Shaafi' Imaam.
The filthy, shameless urinals are in Mina and Muzdalifah, not in Makkah and Madinah.
