The ruling on leaving the Friday prayer and congregational prayer while traveling with a guarantor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I traveled to a land of disbelief with my guarantor, and I do not attend the Friday prayer or the congregational prayer. Our period of travel is one year or six months. What is the ruling on this action? And is it obligatory for me to leave this job?
Answer:
Why does he not attend? If he is guarding and does not perform a task that would be missed if he went and left it, then he is excused. But if he is not a guard and not a custodian of anything, it is not permissible for him to leave the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer. His guarantor has no right to prevent him from that. The guarantor never prevents the obligatory acts; he only prevents the voluntary ones. The guarantor does not prevent the obligatory acts.
