On the Friday Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner says: We live in scattered locations, and we built a mosque to pray in it on Friday only. We did not pray the other prayers in it because it is far from us. Is this Friday prayer valid, and are we required to establish a Friday prayer in this location?

Answer : If you are settled in a town, it is obligatory for you to establish the Friday prayer in this mosque. However, I advise you that, as it is known that some of you are close to this mosque, if you were all far away, then you should build the mosque among you, meaning that it should be next to one side or one of the sides, so that you can establish the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer in it. Yes.
