Performing the Friday Prayer in the Open Desert
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a group of men went out to the open desert and prayed the Friday prayer in their location in the desert. Is their action valid?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not valid. The Friday prayer is not performed in the open desert. These people are mistaken; they must repeat it as the midday prayer. The Friday prayer is not performed in the open desert.
The questioner:
Honorable.
The Shaykh:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) never performed the Friday prayer in the open desert. Yes.
