The ruling on performing the Friday prayer in a hospital prayer area for a traveler?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In our country, I was one of the patients in the chest diseases hospital, where the stay can last up to six months. We used to take a corner in which we prayed, but it was not designated as a mosque. We used to pray the Friday prayer there. Is our Friday prayer valid under these circumstances? We stayed there for six months.
Answer:
No, the Friday prayer is not valid. One of its conditions is settling in a place, and you are not settled; you are travelers, and you do not have a mosque. If you had a mosque, you would follow the people of that mosque. As long as you do not have a mosque and you are not settled in the town, your Friday prayer is not valid. You made a mistake by doing this. You must repeat the Dhuhr prayer. Yes.
