The ruling on the Friday prayer in a town where multiple mosques have been established without need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If the Friday prayer is held in multiple places in one town without need, where should we pray?
If multiple Friday prayers are held in one town without need, it is obligatory for the authorities to prevent the second one;Meaning: the one that was established later, because it came after the first, and the first one has already been established and is valid. And if it is not possible—as is the case in other countries—Meaning: if it is not possible to prevent the multiple Friday prayers, let the person pray in the Friday prayer that is held first. If that is not feasible for him because of its distance, there is no harm in praying the Friday prayer in the other mosque.
