Ruling on leaving the Friday prayer due to the distance of the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: I am a person occupied with camels and sheep, and for most of the time I do not pray the Friday prayer. Is there a sin upon me, knowing that the mosque is about fifteen kilometers away from me?
Answer: This is far, you are excused... This is far, but if you are near and you hear the call to prayer when the sounds are quiet and when the winds are calm, and you hear the call, it is obligatory for you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:308. As for the far one, like fifteen kilometers and ten kilometers and the like of that, this is far, pray with those who are with you. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
