Performing the Friday Prayer in Open-Air Camps
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A phenomenon has appeared recently, which is that when it rains and people go out for a picnic with their families on Friday, they perform the Friday prayer in their open-air camps.
The Shaykh:
It is not valid and not permissible. If they have mosques, they should pray with the people in the mosques. If they do not have mosques where they can pray the midday prayer, that is one thing, but performing it in the open desert is contrary to the Sunnah and does not suffice. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says.
The Shaykh:
Some people have emerged who do not care; may Allah protect us. They do not care about themselves or about others. They complain that people are praying the Friday prayer in the open desert. This is not prescribed. Yes.
