Summary
Prayer is prohibited in seven places named in the hadith of Ibn Umar: a rubbish dump, a slaughterhouse, a graveyard, a public thoroughfare, a bathhouse, a camel resting place and on top of the Kaaba. The ruling is haram according to the Hanbali scholars and makruh according to the Shafii scholars. The Hanafi scholars regard it as makruh tahrimi because the prohibition appears in the hadith. Further detail on the rulings and wisdom is found in al-Fiqh al-Islami wa Adillatuh.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mengerjakan sembahyang di tempat-tempat berikut adalah haram mengikut pendapat ulama' Hanbali dan dianggap makruh mengikut pendapat ulama' Syafi'e dan Hanbali.
