The Friday Prayer for Those Around the Mosque and for the Bedouins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Whether in winter or summer, they are settled. When they gather, they pray in groups of three, five, ten, or twenty. If there are no mosques around them except as I mentioned, far away, then if they are seventeen kilometers, ten kilometers, or five kilometers away, they pray Friday and congregation on their own, provided they are settled residents living around the mosque. Yes.
The questioner:
The traveling Bedouin, O Shaykh, is the Friday prayer obligatory upon them?
The Shaykh:
It does not coincide with the time, but if it coincides with it, it is valid, if it coincides and he prays with the people. As for the Bedouin, he prays the midday prayer.
