Is it a condition to hold the Friday prayer in the mosque, or is it permissible in any place?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The evidence for the congregational prayer in the Friday prayer we performed a little while ago, regarding its permissibility?
The Shaykh : I mean, two answers: a brief one and a detailed one.
The brief answer: The absence of evidence prohibiting it, and this is sufficient for the knowledgeable jurist. The absence of evidence prohibiting holding the congregation in any place for the Friday prayer in any place. If this is sufficient, there is no need to go into the details.
The questioner : Is worship restricted?
The Shaykh : Is worship restricted by what?
The questioner : By what came in the Shari'ah.
The Shaykh : Good. What is the restriction that came in the Shari'ah?
The questioner : Which is the congregational prayer in the mosque, the Friday prayer in the mosque.
The Shaykh : Ah, and the congregational prayer. May Allah make you eloquent; you made a mistake and turned it into correctness.
The questioner : The Friday prayer, I say, in the mosque?
The Shaykh : And I say, and the congregation?
The questioner : And the congregation is permissible.
The Shaykh : This is what I say. And where was it prayed?
The questioner: In the mosque.
The Shaykh : And how was it permissible outside the mosque?
The questioner : Due to an excuse.
The Shaykh : Due to an excuse. What is the excuse?
The questioner : Which is not hearing...
LaughterThe Shaykh : And the audience laughed
The questioner : It was reported regarding travel that it was outside the mosque.
The Shaykh : It happened and was far away... We are not traveling now.
The questioner : We want the answer in detail now.
The Shaykh : I did not hear the answer.
Another questioner : For further clarification.
The Shaykh : It is established that some of the Rightly Guided Caliphs ordered the Bedouins who had settled at certain water sources to gather... So this supports the original ruling, which is? Permissibility and lawfulness due to the absence of evidence prohibiting it.
The questioner : Do they pray Friday or the congregation?
The Shaykh : No, they pray Friday, because the congregation is known to be prayed wherever it is. And perhaps, in my expression, I am being brief. Or perhaps the expression in "Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah" is that they should pray Friday where they are settled.
The questioner : In other than the hadith, they use this expression that they gather.
The Shaykh : No problem, but for the sake of precision in the narration—I said perhaps I summarized the matter—but the expression is correct. Other than that.
The questioner : The question mentioned a little while ago.The Shaykh : ... That a person goes out with his family or his colleagues and companions on a trip on Friday. Is there an excuse for missing the Friday prayer in the mosque in this?
The Shaykh : Missing
The questioner : The Friday prayer in the mosque.
The Shaykh : Is this called missing it?
The questioner : Not going to the mosque, and it is not missing it.
The Shaykh : ... We have... Or is one enough for you? You don't need the second one.
The questioner : We want both.
The Shaykh : But take it as it comes. So this is not considered missing it. Good, if it is not considered missing it, what is upon him?
The questioner : So is it permissible for them to pray Friday and is it permissible for them to pray a regular Zuhr?
The Shaykh : You changed your question. And what happened to the first one?
The Shaykh : I mean, two answers: a brief one and a detailed one.
The brief answer: The absence of evidence prohibiting it, and this is sufficient for the knowledgeable jurist. The absence of evidence prohibiting holding the congregation in any place for the Friday prayer in any place. If this is sufficient, there is no need to go into the details.
