Ruling on performing the Friday prayer in Mina

Question:
What is the ruling on one who performed the Friday prayer in one of the caravans today in Mina?

Answer:
This is an incorrect action, and they should perform the midday prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the midday prayer on the day of Friday at 'Arafah, where he delivered the sermon to the people, and he prayed the midday and afternoon prayers on the day of Friday, but he did not pray the Friday prayer. Therefore, the pilgrim is not required to perform the Friday prayer; he should perform the midday prayer at 'Arafah or on the days of Mina.
