Student Camps: Are They Obligated to Pray Jumu'ah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Student camps are usually held on Thursdays.
Answer : They do not hold the Friday prayer if they are far away, but if they are close to the town, they are required to enter the town. It is not the case that if the distance is only thirty, they pray the midday prayer. Nor is it twenty, because the scholars say that if the distance between him and the mosque is more than one farsakh, then the Friday prayer is not obligatory upon him.
