The ruling on the Friday prayer if it coincides with the day of the festival
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh Salih. If one of the two festivals falls on a Friday, is the Friday prayer with its sermon performed on that day, or not?
Answer:
The Friday prayer is obligatory. The imam must be present and establish the Friday prayer with whoever is present with him, even if only two or more people are present with him. He establishes the Friday prayer, and the Friday prayer is not left off.
As for the followers, if one attended the festival prayer, it is not obligatory for him to attend the Friday prayer. If he attends it, that is better and more complete, but he is not required to attend on this day; he prays the midday prayer. He should not do what the ignorant people did two years ago, when they established the midday prayer and called the adhan for the midday prayer in the mosques and established it as the midday prayer. This is not permissible. The Salaf did not do this. Rather, the one who did not attend the festival prayer prays it as the midday prayer. If someone comes with him, they pray it without an adhan. They pray it without an adhan, whether they pray it in the mosque, in their homes, or in any place. But they do not call the adhan for it as the adhan is called for the midday prayer on other days. Yes.
