Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from the country of Poland. He says: In our country, we have prayer halls for Friday only, meaning they are not opened except on Friday. Is it permissible for us to perform the Friday prayer in them?

Answer:
If the Muslims in this country gather in this place to pray Friday, and they are settled in this town, there is nothing wrong with it, even if the five daily prayers are in one place and the Friday prayer is in another. This is because they are numerous on Friday and need a spacious place. As for the five daily prayers, they are not numerous, so the small place is sufficient for them. If this is for a need, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
