Friday Prayer for One Who Lives Outside the Village and Does Not Hear the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: If we live outside the village, and we do not hear the adhan for Friday prayer, neither with the unamplified voice nor with the loudspeaker, while cars are available, is it obligatory for us to pray the Friday prayer in the village?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not obligatory if you are far from the mosque and you do not hear the adhan, then it is not obligatory for you. However, attending by car is better. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Honorable Shaykh, it is not a matter of obligation. Yes.
