Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A group went out to the desert last Friday, inside al-Thumamah. When the time for the Friday prayer arrived, and there were three of them, one of them led them in the Friday prayer with a Friday sermon. The nearest mosque is about ten kilometers away from them. Is what they did permissible?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. The Friday prayer is not performed except in the congregational mosque with the praying people. As for those who are in the desert or traveling, they do not perform the Friday prayer; rather, they perform the midday prayer.
