Islam teaches us that we have to respect the things which belong to others, and that we should not use them without the owner's permission.
The above rule has to be remembered at all times especially when you want to perform your Salaat.
The place where you intend to pray must either be yours or you must have the permission of the owner to use it
If the place does not belong to you and you do not have the permission of the owner to use it then your Salaat is Batil.
Of course, if you go to Masjid (mosque), you do not need anyone's permission to perform your Salaat in there.
WHY? Because......
- MASJID IS THE HOUSE OF ALLAH
- IT IS BUILT FOR PRAYING TO ALLAH
Also remember that Allah wants us to pray in a clean place.
Therefore always keep your room clean and Tahir.
If you have a musalla in your room, always fold it after praying and keep it in a place where it will remain Tahir and clean.

Last Summer Madressa took all the students to the beach for the day. After a whole morning of fun, the headmaster announced it was time for Salaat. As there were so many students and teachers they decided to pray on the sand – luckily Muhammad had his Risala (Islamic Laws) so he opened it and checked if they could pray on the sand and the Masail said? Masail No. __________
