Is it permissible to perform the Friday prayer in the farms if we are more than forty people?

The questioner : Yes, and there is another question, if you please. Okay. Regarding the fact that we work in farms. Right? We work in a farm. Yes. And then in some farms, the mosque is far away, so half go to pray and half do not go to pray. So, by the grace of Allah, we volunteered to pray Friday with them. So the brothers say that a permit and such are required. It is forbidden. And we are praying inside the farm.

The Shaykh : You are praying in congregation inside the farm.

The questioner : We deliver the Friday sermon to them, we deliver it inside the farm.

The Shaykh : For Friday, they must pray with the congregation.

The questioner : With the congregation, we form a group of about twenty to forty people.

The Shaykh : If there is no congregation, pray the midday prayer.

The questioner : No, but we have a preacher, we give the sermon.

The Shaykh : But are you in the town or in the farms?

The questioner : The planting is in the farms.

The Shaykh : Is there still no Friday prayer there?

The questioner : Friday evening? No, it is not permissible on Friday.

The Shaykh : It is not permissible unless the responsible authorities approve.

The questioner : The responsibility lies with the responsibility, the responsibility lies with the Waqf.

The Shaykh : From the Dar al-Ifta.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : You must obtain permission from the Dar al-Ifta.

The questioner : From the Dar al-Nisa.

The Shaykh : You see, the Ifta in Saudi Arabia.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : If they give you permission, there is no harm.

The presenter : Okay, may Allah reward you, my uncle, the Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.

The presenter : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
