    Prayer room - a room for prayer concentration, for the performance of Christian worship. Unlike the temple, it does not have an altar, therefore the Liturgy is not performed in the prayer room, but sometimes prayer rooms are called house churches. Prayer houses are settled in private houses, mansions, apartments, and sometimes in public institutions. The prayer house in modern perception is often perceived as a place where a Christian is not disturbed by vain worldly sounds, smells, and visual distractions.

    In Russian, the name "prayer room" has become established for Orthodox and Old Believer rooms, while "prayer room" or "prayer room" denotes premises for meetings of adherents of other faiths, as well as sectarians. The adjective "prayer" in relation to rooms is not entirely correct, although it is also sometimes found in certain texts.

    The creation of prayer rooms is a very ancient tradition, dating back to the first gatherings of Christian communities in the catacombs. Divine services were held in refuge caves, decorated with frescoes on the walls - the prototypes of future icons. The first Christians came to these caves for solitary prayers, and the first Christian holidays were held here. And if Orthodox churches as architectural and artistic complexes developed the idea of ​​collective holidays and public prayers, private prayer rooms remained a place for individual and family appeals to spiritual ideals and values.

    In the palaces of the Russian imperial family, the equipment of house churches was adopted, which were full-fledged Orthodox churches. But at the same time, there was a tradition of creating the Cross rooms - prayer rooms for members of the royal family, and the king, queen and children had their own prayer rooms.

    Prayer houses were also created in the magnificent palaces of aristocrats. Individual churches were often built in the mansions of the landowners, but at the same time there were prayer rooms in the mansions of the landowners, in which services were held only for the family of the landowner.

    Prayer houses often became a place of accumulation of icons and various objects of religious use - crosses, arks, small plastic objects and textile works of Christian art. The existing custom of donating icons led to the replenishment of such collections, and although many of these unsystematized "collections" were very variegated groups of heterogeneous icons and objects, it was there that those artifacts that are now recognized as historical, cultural and spiritual heritage were preserved.

    Prayer rooms were especially common in the homes of Old Believers, the persecution of which led to the hiding of all signs of religious life from prying eyes. The impossibility of visiting the temple contributed to the emergence of communal prayer rooms, in which not only divine services were held, but also all church rites and sacraments.

    Unfortunately, in the years of the revolutionary hard times and the civil war, the worshipers first of all suffered from robberies and robberies. It was from the prayer houses that valuable utensils and icons were taken away, they were the first to remain empty, later becoming modest "rooms for household purposes" in the interpretation of Soviet art critics, who hushed up the existence of traditions of family and home Orthodoxy.

    In modern realities, prayer rooms are usually created in fairly large private estates, where it is possible to allocate a separate room.

    Prayer room iconostasis

    The interior decoration of the prayer room presupposes the presence of at least one icon, but, as a rule, a small iconostasis is arranged in the prayer rooms. Sometimes the preference in choosing icons for the iconostasis is given in favor of new and specially painted icons for this, sometimes the iconostasis is selected from old icons, and this requires a very delicate and competent approach.

    On a number of sites there are suggestions for “competent selection of icons for completing prayer rooms”, but it seems that there is some slyness in this. The creation of a prayer room according to the principle of template interior design, as if it were a kitchen or a hallway, negates the very idea of ​​space for spiritual aspirations.

    Of course, the authors of this project, iconologists with experience and knowledge in the field of Christian traditions, iconography and Orthodox history, are able to create a harmonious space imbued with a common artistic idea and Orthodox mood. But we shy away from a flat-commercial approach and a purely businesslike attitude to such projects.

    In the creation of prayer rooms and the selection of icons for them, we always assume co-creation, a collective and meaningful embodiment of aspirations, in which there is a high note of pure thoughts and sincerity of faith.

    Icon as a gift for the prayer room

    In most cases, the already created prayer rooms have icons with basic and common themes, therefore, an icon for a prayer room should be presented with a certain tact: there is no need to present the tenth image of the Savior Not Made by Hands or Kazan. If the donor has seen a prayer room, for which a gift is supposed, or at least heard about it, then he knows approximately which icons are already in it, and what style of artistic execution of icons meets the tastes of the owners of the house. If knowledge about this side of the recipient's life is not enough, it is better to focus on simple and at the same time logical iconic plots and motives.

    As a gift for a prayer room, you can present:
    ... the icon of the saint
    ... an icon of a saint with a "professional" accent
    ... an icon from a specific geographic region (for example, where the owner or mistress of the house comes from)
    ... an icon painted in a certain artistic style, if this particular style meets the preferences of the recipient of the gift
    ... an icon with some interesting plot
    ... an icon suitable for the collection that the recipient of the gift collects.

    What exactly is meant by a mosque? Is there a difference between the concepts of mosque, musalla, jamaat khan, etc.? These questions require detailed analysis.

    Nowadays (in the West in particular) in Islamic centers, among other things, there is a prayer hall, musalla or jamaat khan. Some communities rent premises in an industrial complex, house or apartment where members of the Muslim community can gather for collective prayer (and in many cases for other purposes as well). Many communities have even bought the premises and consider them their mosques.

    Which of the above can actually be considered a mosque, and what are the rules in this regard?

    There is a difference between the concepts of a mosque (Arabic. masjid) and musalla (or jamaat khan). Musalla (or jamaat khan) literally means a place where prayer is performed or meetings are held, in other words, it is any place that believers temporarily use for collective prayer. Musalla is also a place that has not been transferred to the waqf or has not yet been assigned to become a mosque forever until the Day of Judgment. Usually such premises are used temporarily, and the community can change it as soon as a more suitable, convenient and already permanent option is found. Muslims today often say “mosque” instead of “musalla”, and the literal meaning of the Arabic word “masjid” (the place where prostrations are made) allows this. However, from the fiqh point of view, musallah is not a Sharia mosque. And the reward for praying in musalla is not the same as for praying in a mosque.

    Mosque (masjid)

    The mosque is a sacred place, the reward for prayer in which increases 25-27 times, a place where the mercy of Allah descends. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) considered the mosque to be the best of the places. Ibn Abbas narrates:

    “Mosques are the houses of Allah on earth. They shine to the inhabitants of the heavens just as the stars in the sky shine to the inhabitants of the earth. "

    A true mosque in the Sharia sense is a place that has been forever dedicated to Allah - for holding prayers, reading the Koran and remembering Him. Any piece of land that is forever set aside for collective prayers also becomes, in the Sharia sense, a mosque. The great Hanafi scholar of Egypt, Allama Takhtawi, said:

    “Know that in order for a place (piece of land) to be considered a mosque, the presence of a building (structure) is not necessary.”

    A mosque is usually transferred to a waqf or becomes a public property (sometimes, depending on local laws, this can be problematic). However, once a mosque is erected, it will always be the mosque and the property of Allah. It cannot return to the property of any person or community, even if they spent their money on its construction. Allama Haskafi writes:

    "If life in the settlement around the mosque fades away and the mosque remains deserted, it will still remain a mosque, according to the imams of Abu Hanifa and Abu Yusuf, until the Day of Judgment, and a fatwa behind this opinion (Hawi al-Qudsi)."

    "All earth will disappear on the Day of Judgment except for the mosques that will connect with each other."

    Allocation of space for a mosque

    A mosque (to become a mosque) must be formally designated by members of a special commission or a group of responsible persons. They determine the area that the mosque will occupy and its boundaries. In addition, they can establish that the areas adjacent to the mosque will be used as bathrooms / toilets, warehouses, halls, etc. As for the second point, these areas will only be an addition to the mosque, although they are part They will not be "mosques" determined by the commission. Therefore, only the front part of the large hall (ie, the first ten rows) can be legalized as a “mosque”, while the remaining part will have the status of musalli. If the front of the hall was set aside for a mosque, the whole place, including what is above and below it, becomes a Sharia mosque. This means that the space directly above and below the territory of the mosque on any floor can only be used as a mosque, but not for any other purpose. All the rules regarding the mosque apply to all floors above and below the mosque (including the basement), no matter how many there are. It is prohibited to locate toilets, bathrooms, as well as perform any inappropriate actions above or below the territory of the mosque. But it is allowed to build a toilet and a bathroom on any floor outside the territory allocated for the mosque, since, from the point of view of Sharia, this will be the territory adjacent to the mosque, and not directly the mosque itself. Allama Haskafi in the universally recognized work "Ad-Durr al-Mukhtar" writes:

    “It is close to the forbidden (makruh tahrim) action to perform sexual intercourse over the territory of the mosque. The same applies to dealing with small and large needs over the territory of the mosque, because the mosque is a mosque up to the top of heaven (Ibn Abidin adds: "And also deep into the earth") ... it is undesirable for something unclean to get there ... [Although] over the room, which it is simply used as a mosque [in the house], or in this room itself, the commission of these actions is not condemned, since these places are not a mosque according to Sharia ... in the prayer room (musalla) or a place that is prepared for the performance of the festive or funeral prayer) in the same way as it is allowed to enter the courtyard adjacent to the mosque [not part of the mosque] ... ”.

    Therefore, if the boundaries of the mosque are established, it is no longer possible to make any part of the prayer room cease to be a mosque. But, before the plan is approved and this or that territory is assigned as a mosque, it is possible to allocate plots on any of the floors above or below where the mosque will be located for some other purposes related to the mosque, for example, for storage , the office of the imam, the base for the needs of the mosque, the shop that generates the income of the mosque, etc. Ibn Abidin writes in Radd al-Mukhtar:

    “If they place the imam's room over it, then there is nothing reprehensible, because it refers to the arrangement of the mosque. But, if the design [of the boundaries] of the mosque has already been completed and people want to add a room there, it is forbidden to do so [change the approved boundaries of the mosque and place a room there that is intended for something else]. If the members of the commission claim that they previously intended to do so, their application will not be accepted [in court]. "

    The Egyptian fiqh scholar Ibn Nujaym says the same:

    "The Mujtaba says that the trustee of the mosque is prohibited from building shops in the mosque or its courtyard [meaning the courtyard where prayer is performed in summer in warm countries, it is also called the street part of the mosque]."

    Warehouses and water storage above / below the mosque

    The mosque may have a storage room directly above or below the prayer hall. But the storage room under the prayer hall should be used exclusively for arranging the mosque, and its location should be agreed in advance at the first design stage. It is also allowed to install a water tank under the mosque (as is done in some Muslim countries). Ad-Durr al-Mukhtar says:

    "If a basement is made under the mosque for the needs of the mosque [but Allam Ibn Abidin adds that it should have limited dimensions], this is permissible, as is done in the mosque in Jerusalem."

    Living area and toilets above / below the territory of the mosque

    Although when designing a mosque it is allowed to take part of it under the imam's room, as well as for other purposes, one should not plan to build toilets or an imam's apartment directly above the territory of the mosque, even if this is done at the preparatory stage of construction, because it is forbidden to relieve themselves, have sexual intercourse and etc. above or below the mosque. And under no circumstances should a place be allocated for a living quarters or an office in a mosque, the boundaries of which have already been determined. Allama Ibn Abidin writes:

    “And the question of whether it is permissible for a person who transfers property to a waqf to allot a place for toilets [beit lil-khala”] directly above the mosque, as in the Masjid Mahallat al-Shahm mosque in Damascus, requires a decision. I have not come across a particular Sharia decision on this matter. Yes, in the chapter on waqf [in Ad-Durr al-Mukhtar], it says: “If a basement is made under the mosque for the needs of the mosque, this is permissible,” think. ”

    However, Ibn Abidin only mentions the possibility of drawing an analogy between the storage in the basement and the toilets, indicating that this issue needs more detailed consideration. This analogy is not a strict judgment.

    Islamic centers and musallis today

    With regard to modern Islamic centers with a prayer hall, the room set aside for prayer can be considered a Sharia mosque if it was set aside as a mosque. As for the rooms adjacent to the mosque, such as a hall, a dining room, a children's room, a gym, offices, they are considered additional or additions to the mosque, therefore, they are not part of the Sharia mosque, even if they are also included in the waqf (i.e. belong to property that cannot be transferred to someone else's property), and the rules regarding the mosque and the adjacent premises will differ, which will be discussed below.

    Women during menstruation

    A woman in the period of menstruation and postpartum bleeding, as well as a person in a state of great pollution due to the discharge of semen, are not allowed to enter the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

    "I have not made the mosque permissible for a woman during her period, or for one who is experiencing postpartum hemorrhage."

    Little children in the mosque

    It is forbidden (haram) to come to the mosque with infants or young children if there is a possibility that they can stain the territory of the mosque. If they are wearing diapers and they are less likely to stain any part of the mosque, it is undesirable to bring them to the mosque (makruh tanzih), because in diapers they can bring impurities with them to the mosque.

    The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

    "Keep babies and the insane away from your mosques."

    Sleeping and eating in the mosque

    It is undesirable to sleep or eat in the mosque, except with the intention of Itikaaf or while traveling.

    Gathering daily for the five obligatory prayers in the mosque is a collective responsibility

    In the mosque, the daily performance of five obligatory prayers by the jamaat should be organized, otherwise the sin of neglecting them falls on the local residents, since the performance of the jamaat prayer in the mosque is wajib (duty) for local residents. Allama Ibn Abidin writes about the taraweeh prayer, which is a strong sunnah and not wajib, as follows:

    “The clear meaning of their [fakikh] judgment is that it is a Sunnah for the community to gather to perform it [taraweeh prayer] in a mosque, as much as if they perform taraweeh prayer in a jamaat at home, and there will be no jamaat in the mosque, sin falls on them. "

    Therefore, if such is the decision regarding a recognized sunnah, it is even more important to perform the obligatory prayers by the jamaat in the mosque in each locality. Allah's Apostle said:

    "For those who live next to the mosque, there is no prayer, except in the mosque."

    Conversations in the mosque

    It is undesirable (makrooh) to discuss worldly affairs in the mosque. For example, Umar set aside a special place outside the mosque where people could go out to talk. Ibn Abidin writes:

    "(It is undesirable to talk in a mosque,) I mean a conversation of a permissible nature, and not a sinful one, which will entail a much greater sin (if it takes place in a mosque)."

    Musalla and a temporary place for prayer

    All of the above restrictions (that one cannot talk about worldly topics in a mosque, etc.), from the point of view of fiqh, do not apply to musalla, because it is a temporary place of worship. Consequently, an apartment, a restroom, etc. can be located above or below its territory, moreover, the musalla itself can be used as an apartment when it is no longer used as a place for prayer. However, it is recommended to treat musallah in the same way as a mosque because it is used for the same purposes.
