Is it permissible to perform the festival prayer in the open desert?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 20958 )
Q: Is it permissible to perform the festival prayer in the open desert ? Of course, if there is a congregation and someone to lead them. Is it permissible or not?
A: The festival prayer is only established in cities and villages, and it is not prescribed to establish it in the desert or while traveling. It is not known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or his Companions (may Allah be pleased with
them) performed the festival prayer while traveling, nor do we know that they approved of the prayer in the desert. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
