Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : As for the traveler who is in a town where the Friday prayer is held, such as a person who passes through a town while traveling and enters it to rest and continue his journey after the afternoon prayer, is the Friday prayer obligatory for him?
Answer : We say yes, it is obligatory for him, due to the generality of the statement of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9] This is general. And we have not learned that the Companions who would come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and stay until the day of Friday would leave the Friday prayer. On the contrary, the apparent meaning of the Sunnah is that they would pray with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Answer : We say yes, it is obligatory for him, due to the generality of the statement of Allah the Exalted:
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ
