Performing the Friday Prayer in Camps

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, a questioner says: Is it permissible for us to perform the Friday prayer in the camps where we are? May Allah keep you safe and protect you.

Answer:
It is not permissible to perform the Friday prayer except with the condition of settling down. The condition of settling down and permanent residence in a structure that is customary. As for travelers, or those who are in the open, or those who are staying temporarily, no. The Bedouins in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would settle in the deserts, settling by the water sources around the city, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order them to perform the Friday prayer; because they were not settled residents. One of the conditions for the validity of the Friday prayer is settling down. Yes.
