Conditions for Establishing the Friday Prayer in Muslim Prayer Halls in the West

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if Muslims establish a prayer hall in the West and some of the five daily prayers are performed in it, is it permissible for them to establish the Friday prayer in it?

The Shaykh:
Which prayer? And that there is a mosque... if Muslims establish a prayer hall in the West. In the West. In the West, yes. What do you mean by the West? I mean in the lands of the disbelievers. Yes.

The questioner:
Some of the five daily prayers are performed in it, so is it permissible for them to establish the Friday prayer in it?

The Shaykh:
The Friday prayer requires settlement. If they are settled in this country, settled, then they pray Friday as settled residents of the place. But if they are not settled, then if they find a mosque where it is prayed, they pray with the settled residents of that mosque; otherwise, they pray the midday prayer.
