What is your opinion on our going on a trip on Friday? And it would result in missing the Friday prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the trip?
The Shaykh : ...regarding?
The questioner : The trip, we go up on Friday... we pray the congregational prayer... and we know that the Friday prayer... there is no washing, no worship, no reminder, or such, we go up... for amusement, and we pray the Friday prayer outside.
The Shaykh : What the scholars mention—and it is the truth without doubt—is that it is not permissible for one who hears the adhan while he is in the town to go out, but going out before the adhan is permissible, on the condition that his going out is not a ruse to escape performing the Friday prayer in the mosque, as some may do in Ramadan; where they travel in order to break their fast, and Allah knows best their intentions.
Abu Malik: ...
The Shaykh : So the point is, if the going out is not with the intention of escaping this obligatory duty, then it is permissible; because the scholars said: that going out is not permissible for the one who hears the call, and it is reported from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he saw a man who had prepared for travel, but he had not gone out, so he asked him about the reason? He said: Today is Friday, and I do not go out now. He said: Travel; for Friday does not prevent travel.
This is the answer to your question, although I want to remind you that your question from the scientific aspect...
