Question

In case all the conditions of Jum'ah prayer are met, is Jum'ah prayer obligatory on every person, is it obligatory, or Sunnah? In the present situation, after all the conditions of the Jumu'ah prayer have been met, if someone voluntarily abandons the Jumu'ah prayer and performs the Zuhr prayer, will he be considered as an obligatory debater? Jum'ah prayers are practiced all over present day Bangladesh, such as in cities, ports and markets, as well as in remote areas of villages. Is it completely permissible according to the Hanafi school? 5154432144


Answer

As far as we know, most of the places in Bangladesh are where the definition of a city or a big village applies. Therefore, we will say that Jum'ah is obligatory in most parts of our country and if there is a remote area which does not fall under the definition of a city or a large village, then Jum'ah will not be valid there. It is important to read Zuhr there. It is obligatory for adult men to perform the Jumu'ah prayer in the place where the Jumu'ah condition is found. It is haraam to deliberately argue Jum'a. He who argues is a transgressor. He will be a grave sinner because of the delay of Jumu'ah. It is even mentioned in the Hadith that if a person does not intentionally recite three Jumu'ahs without any reason, Allah will seal the heart of the hypocrite. As mentioned earlier, most areas of Bangladesh fall under cities or large villages. So, it is important to read Jumu'ah there. Note: The definition of town and large village has been mentioned in detail elsewhere. 4382536739
