(abode of disbelief),do we have 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 Muslims who are settled in a city
or village, and He has forbidden them to become distracted from that
by buying and selling, etc, because of the general meaning of the
verse (interpretationof the meaning):
"O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed 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, thenthey 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 dar al-harb, so
theMuslims 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 an individual obligation (fard 'ayn) on the Muslims, if the
conditions stipulated by sharee'ah are met.
