Friday Prayers ~ Can Jumu’ah prayer be held in Dar al-Harb?

If we say that some country is dar al-harb (abode of war) or dar kufr
(abode of disbelief), do wehave to pray Jumu'ah there? In other words,
do we have to gather for Friday (Jumu'ah) prayer in dar al-harb or dar
kufr?
Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah has enjoined Jumu'ah upon the Muslimswho are settled in a city
orvillage, and He has forbidden them to becomedistracted from that by
buying and selling, etc, because of the general meaning of the verse
(interpretation of the meaning):
"O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call isproclaimed for the
Salaah (prayer) on Friday (Jumu'ah prayer), come to the remembrance of
Allaah [Jumu'ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salaah (prayer)] and
leave off business (and every other thing). That is better for you if
you did but know!"
[al-Jumu'ah 62:9]
And it was narrated in the hadeeth of 'Abd-Allaah ibn'Umar and Abu
Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with them) that they heard the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say
from the minbar: "There are people who should stop neglecting Jumu'ah,
or else Allaah will put a seal on their hearts, then they will surely
be among the negligent." (Muslim 2/591). And the ummah is agreed on
the fact that Jumu'ah is obligatory. There is no sound evidence in
sharee'ah to indicate that the obligation of praying Jumu'ah applies
only in dar al-Islam and not in daral-harb, so the Muslims who are
settled in dar al-kufr are obliged to perform Jumu'ah prayer if the
conditions are met, following the general meaning of the texts of the
Qur'aan and Sunnah which indicate that it is anindividual obligation
(fard 'ayn) on the Muslims, if theconditions stipulated by sharee'ah
are met.
