Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We conclude this session with a question from one of the brothers. He says: We are a group of workers in a farm, numbering approximately 16 people. With us is an educated man who recites and leads us in the obligatory prayers. On Friday, is it permissible for him to deliver the sermon and lead us in prayer? Even though the main mosque is a half-hour drive from us.
Answer:
If there is a mosque around you that is a half-hour drive away, pray the Zuhr prayer and do not pray the Friday prayer. Pray Zuhr in your location. Yes.
