Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the matter, some of the scholars of knowledge authenticated the hadith, stating that the Friday prayer is obligatory and that the one who misses it is a disbeliever.
Answer:
No, it is not authentic. How can the hadith be authentic when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) traveled and did not pray the Friday prayer? If this had been authentic, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would have prayed the Friday prayer.
