Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This man lives in a new neighborhood. He says there are no mosques in it, but he says they hear the call to prayer from the mosques in the neighboring neighborhoods through the loudspeaker. Is it obligatory for us to go to those neighborhoods?
Answer:
This is in the lands of the Muslims. A neighborhood with no mosque is not acceptable, and this is not permissible for them. A neighborhood with no mosque is absolutely not acceptable. They must contact the mosque affairs department to have one opened for them, whether it is a prayer hall or a building, or for example a courtyard with a pulpit. They must not leave the Friday prayer. They should look for a plan that does not involve construction and pray the Friday prayer there. They must not leave the Friday prayer.
