Friday Prayer and Shortening the Prayer for One Who Has a Farm
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And a good thing is that he exited quickly at the end of the surah, and his speech was the speech of the one who leads the Friday prayer, and I became unsure of what I know of it; this is more correct than that.
Answer:
He used to have a Friday prayer where he would pray the Friday prayer with the people. If the mosque is far from him, the Friday prayer is dropped from him. Likewise, he shortens the prayer if the farm is not a place of residence, but is merely a dwelling, for example. The criterion is residence and stability. If he has residence and stability in the farm, he completes the prayer. If he has no residence there, and his residence and stability are in the town, he shortens the prayer, because he is a resident.
