The Ruling on Congregational Prayer and Friday Prayer for a Slave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, what is your evidence here for validating the congregational 'Asr prayer and not validating it for the Friday prayer?
The Shaykh : No, it is not like that. Their argument is for the obligation of the congregation without the obligation of the Friday prayer. They argue with the hadith
The presenter : All right.
The Shaykh : The Friday prayer is an obligatory right in congregation for every Muslim except four.
The presenter : They say that if an imam prays with them on Friday, the prayer is not valid, but if he prays in the congregation, it is valid. So, what is his evidence for this?
The Shaykh : They say because in the congregation, the people are those upon whom it is obligatory. The Friday prayer is not among those upon whom it is obligatory. In any case, the correct view, without doubt, is that the Friday prayer and the congregation are obligatory for the slave unless his master prevents him. If his master prevents him, he is excused. Yes.
