The Traveler Leading the Friday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: It is well known that the Friday prayer is not obligatory upon a traveler. So if he attends it with the residents, is it valid for him to lead the Friday prayer?
Answer:
And he says: They say that it is not valid for him to lead it; if he attends it, it suffices for him, but it is not valid for him to lead it. However, this requires consideration, and the stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that he may lead it. Yes.
