Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. He says: What is the ruling if the day of the festival coincides with Friday? Does the imam and the congregation pray the Friday prayer?
Answer:
Yes, this is the position of the Muslims: they pray the festival prayer and they pray the Friday prayer. However, one who has an excuse or is far away is excused from attending the Friday prayer. The people of the villages and those on the outskirts of the town who face hardship are excused. As for the person who is close to the mosque, or whose Friday prayer is nearby, he prays with the Muslims. Yes.
