Subject : Islamic Ruling on Prayer Performed while Following an Imam whose Prayer is Broadcasted Via Television
Fatwa Number : 4249
Date : 15-02-2026
Classified : Congregation (Group) Prayer
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

Is a woman's prayer performed while following an Imam whose prayer is being broadcasted via the television valid, and does she receive the reward of congregational prayer?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

Among the conditions for the validity of following an Imam (Iqtida’) is that the Imam and the follower must be in the same location. Therefore, the prayer of one who follows an Imam whose prayer is being broadcasted via television from a distant location is not valid. However, if the follower is with the Imam in the same mosque, the prayer is valid. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
