Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is the Friday prayer valid in the open desert?
Answer:
No, the Friday prayer is not valid in the open desert that is far from the town. It is permissible to hold it in an open space near the town out of necessity, if there is a need for it. As for holding it on trips or journeys, the Friday prayer is not held except in a town or in the areas surrounding the town that are attached to it, when there is a need.
