There is no stipulation that Jumu‘ah prayer should be offered in a masjid or jaami‘

''Friday Prayers'' :-:->
One of my acquaintence comented that, Juma is only valid in a place
where all five daily prayers are being offered in congregation.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is no stipulation that Jumu'ah prayer should be offered in a
masjid or jaami' accordingto the majority of fuqaha' of the Hanafi,
Shaafa'i andHanbali madhhabs, unlike the Maalikis.
It says in al-Bahr al-Raa'iq (2/162), which is a Hanafi book: The
words "and general permission" mean: The condition of it being valid
is that it should be done in the usual manner. So, for example, if a
ruler were toclose the gates of the fortress and lead his family and
troops in offering Jumu'ah prayer, that is not valid. This is what it
says in al-Khulaasah. In al-Muheetit says that if he opens thegate of
his palace and gives the people permission to enter, it is valid
although it is makrooh, because he did not fulfil the right of the
Jaami' mosque. End quote.
It says in Tarh al-Tathreeb(3/190): Our view (i.e., theShaafa'i
madhhab) is that establishing Jumu'ah is not only to be done in
themosque; rather it may be performed in an ordinary building. If they
do it in a place other than a mosque, the one who enters that place
should not pray during the khutbah, because there is no "greeting"
(2-rak'ah prayer upon entering) for it. End quote.
It says in al-Insaaf (2/378), which is a Hanbali book: With regardto
the words "it is permissible to perform it in various buildings or
buildings that are on the edge of the wilderness", this is the view of
our madhhab and it is the view of most of the scholars of the madhhab,
many of whom stated it definitively. And it was said that it is not
permissible to perform it anywhere except in the jaami'. End quote.
With regard to the Maalikis, they stipulated that it must be
performedin the jaami', as stated above.
Khaleel al-Maaliki said concerning the conditions of Jumu'ah: [It
should be] in a jaami' that is built separately.
In al-Taaj wa'l-Ikleel (2/520) it says: "In the jaami'." Ibn Basheer
said: The jaami ' is one of the conditions of offering this prayer.
Ibn Rushd said: It is not valid to establish Jumu'ah except in a
designated mosque. Al-Baaji said: One of the conditions is a mosque
that is built specifically forthat purpose in the usual style of
mosques. End quote.
To sum up:
Jumu'ah prayer in the place mentioned is valid according to the
majority of scholars, if it is not possible to allocate a specific
place for the Muslims to pray and if they cannot go to the nearest
mosque or Islamiccentre in which Jumu'ah prayer is offered.
And Allah knows best.
