Is the traveler exempt from the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the previous discussion on congregational prayer?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Regarding the traveler, we understand from your words that the traveler is exempt from the Friday prayer, meaning he is exempt from those included in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9] So is this person an exception to this generality?
The Shaykh : This is a somewhat strange question? Do you mean that?
The questioner : I swear to you, truly, O Shaykh, this issue is not clear to me. I wish you would clarify it?
The Shaykh : Very well, my brother, may Allah bless you. If you are convinced that the traveler is not obligated to perform the Friday prayer, then you are excused, and perhaps that is the case. But if you are convinced, then my surprise is justified?
The questioner : I am convinced.
The Shaykh : Convinced?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Then how is this? Or in other words, let us expand a bit on the clarification. Have you known the evidence that the traveler is not obligated to perform the Friday prayer and are you convinced by it?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Very well, state what I said, and let that be your answer. It is clear.
The questioner : Is that clear?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Regarding the traveler, we understand from your words that the traveler is exempt from the Friday prayer, meaning he is exempt from those included in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah
