Performing the Friday Prayer at a Private Event Venue

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks in his third question: Sometimes we have events, and due to the large number of visitors, they perform the Friday prayer at the private venue for the wedding or other event, because the mosque is not spacious enough for them. Is their Friday prayer valid? Yes, I see. The question is asked again: Sometimes we have events, and due to the large number of visitors, they perform the Friday prayer at the private venue for the wedding or other event, because the mosque is not spacious enough for them. Is their Friday prayer valid?

Answer:
If the people of the town agree to this and the visitors perform the Friday prayer in another location, there is no harm. However, if the visitors perform the Friday prayer with the people in the mosques that exist in the town, and they agree with the town’s preacher and imam to perform it in another location because the mosque cannot accommodate them, there is no harm.
