The Ruling on Praying the Midday Prayer After the Friday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We are in some of the countries neighboring the Kingdom, and if the number of forty is not reached for the Friday prayer, we pray the Friday prayer and then pray the midday prayer after it.
Answer:
No, there is no such thing as two prayers; one prayer is sufficient. Pray the Friday prayer even if you are few, even if you are three or four. The minimum number is three. If the people of the village are three, five, or ten, they pray the Friday prayer and do not pray the midday prayer with it. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Praying the midday prayer with the Friday prayer is a bid'ah. But pray the Friday prayer even if you are few, even if you are three or four. The minimum number for which the Friday prayer is valid is three, as is the opinion of a group of scholars, and this is the correct view.
