Ruling on establishing Jumu`ah Prayer in a village inhabited by women with the presence just one man


494

Q: I am a Muslim living in a remote village which has only three other Muslim widows, is it permissible for me to establish Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer with them in this village ? I hope you will clarify this issue for me, may Allah reward you with the best!


A: It is impermissible to establish Jumu`ah Prayer unless there is the minimum number of people by whom congregational Salah (Prayer) is valid, which is two people in addition to the Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) according to the most correct opinion maintained by scholars. Jumu`ah Prayer cannot be established by women only. Nevertheless, if they pray with men, it will count as Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer for them.May Allah grant us success. May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
