The Friday Prayer in a Camp Outside the Town
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we went outside Riyadh, and we were a group of young men, so we prayed the Friday prayer in our location, that is, in the camp, and our number was large.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
We went outside Riyadh, and we were a group of young men, so we prayed the Friday prayer in our location, that is, in the camp, and we were many. Is our prayer valid or not?
The Shaykh:
It is not valid. If you were in the open desert, it is not valid, and you must repeat it as the midday prayer. However, if you were near the town, you should pray with the people of the town in the mosques in the town. So, the result is that your prayer is not valid, and you must repeat it as the midday prayer.
