Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on a person who prays the Friday prayer based on what he hears of the imam’s voice, when there is a road between him and the mosque and he is approximately two hundred meters away from the mosque, and he does this for the sake of maintaining security? Is it permissible for him to do so and follow the imam?
Answer:
Security. Yes. No, he does not pray with the imam. He prays the midday prayer (Zuhr) in his place of guard. He prays it as Zuhr in the place of guard. He does not pray it as the Friday prayer. Because he is outside the mosque and the rows are not connected. Yes.
