Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: We are a group of young men who rented a building in order to perform the obligatory duty. In order to perform the five daily prayers, he says: We rented a building in order to perform the five daily prayers and Jumu'ah, and the place used to sell goods before.

Answer:
This, and where is it? Are there no mosques? Yes, pray in the mosque if there are mosques around you, pray in the mosques. Yes, you rent a shop and pray in it, except if you are in a land where there are no mosques, then there is no harm in that. Yes, and Jumu'ah, you do not establish it unless you are settled in the town with a permanent settlement, settled in the town with a permanent settlement. One of the conditions of Jumu'ah is settlement. As for the traveler, and as for the one who is studying, and as for the one who is not settled, he does not establish Jumu'ah except by following others. If he finds Jumu'ah being established by the people of the town, he prays with them. Yes.
