MAKASSAR - On TikTok, videos of teenagers praying in congregations at a friend's house who also have a room for a church are viral on TikTok. The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) South Sulawesi (Sulsel) spoke about this viral video.

In the video uploaded by @ faisalrrp.pft, it appears that there are 4 teenagers praying in congregation in front of the church altar. The video uploader said that prayers at his friend's house were carried out because the mosque was far away.

The uploader of the video says he and his friends don't have much time left to catch up on prayers if they have to go to the mosque. In the video, there are also ornaments of a church and an altar for Christian worship.

"If the place owner allows it, it can function. It functions as a mosque if it is used for prayers, functions as a church if it is used for services. It functions (also) as another place of worship," said Deputy Chairman of the MUI South Sulawesi, Rahim Yunus, when contacted. VOI, Saturday, December 19.

Rahim Yunus mentioned the condition of Muslims in Europe that lack of places to worship. Because of this, there are also those who use the worship space of other religious people to worship.

"This Friday can be used as a place for Friday prayers, on Sundays used by Christians. As long as the place is clean (there is nothing unclean)," he said.
