Friday Prayer in the Farm
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu 'Abdullah saying: I hope to present my letter to Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him). The questioner says: We have a farm that is one hundred and forty kilometers from Riyadh. The farm, Shaykh Salih, is very large and has trees, and there is no mosque near us. So, there is a mosque in the farm itself. As for Friday, do we pray with our grandchildren, who number fourteen, and do we deliver the sermon to them?
Answer:
No. If you have a nearby congregational mosque, it is obligatory for you to pray there with the Muslims. Otherwise, pray the midday prayer (Zuhr) and do not pray it as the Friday prayer. Yes.
