Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a group went out to the wilderness for a distance less than the distance for shortening the prayer, for several days, and their stay extended until Friday. Is it obligatory for them to return to the town to pray the Friday prayer, or is it permissible for them to pray it as Zuhr in their location?
Answer:
If the town is far from them and they do not hear the adhan, they have a choice. If they wish, they may go and pray the Friday prayer, and this is better and more excellent for them. If they wish, they may pray it as Zuhr in their location. However, if they are close to the town, can hear the adhan, and there is a mosque around them, it is obligatory for them to pray the Friday prayer with the Muslims.
