Is there a Friday prayer for non-residents?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: His Eminence, the President General of the Committees for Research and Ifta, Da'wah, and Guidance. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
We inform your Eminence that we are a group of military and civilian personnel from the Civil Defense who have come from Riyadh and other areas to serve the guests of Allah during the months of Dhul-Qa'dah and Dhul-Hijjah only. We have a mosque where we perform prayer during this period of our mission. Is it permissible for us to establish the Friday prayer in this mosque? Or should we perform the Zuhr prayer? Please issue a ruling, and may Allah reward you with good.
A: And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. After that:
You must pray the Friday prayer with the people in the mosques where the Friday prayer is established, if that is feasible. If you are unable to do so, pray the Zuhr prayer and do not pray the Friday prayer, because you are not residents. One of the conditions for the validity of the Friday prayer is that those who perform it must be residents.
May Allah guide everyone to what pleases Him. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
