The Ruling on the Friday Prayer for One Who Is Far from the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah bless you. One of the brothers says: I work in the desert, and the nearest mosque to me is a distance of one hundred kilometers. Is the Friday prayer dropped from me? And how do I pray it?
The Shaykh:
Pray it as the midday prayer. It is dropped from you if this distance is between you and it, for this is a far distance, so the Friday prayer is dropped from you and you pray it as the midday prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
With this question, we have reached the end of our episode with you, thanking and appreciating our guest, Your Excellency the Shaykh, Dr. Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, member of the Council of Senior Scholars, member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta. May Allah reward you, Your Excellency the Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
