Praying at Home When the Mosque Is Far from the House
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My home is far from the Friday prayer mosque, about five kilometers away. What is the ruling on praying at home as the midday prayer?
Answer:
If the home is far from the mosque, as you mentioned, five kilometers or more, and you are unable to attend, then you pray in your home. You pray with those who are present among those for whom the prayer is obligatory; they pray the midday prayer. In fact, it is obligatory for you to pray it as the Friday prayer. You should have a congregational mosque where you pray, and you should appoint a mu'adhdhin (the one who calls to prayer) and a khatib (the one who delivers the sermon), and you should have a Friday prayer. Yes.
