Is it permissible for a traveler to a foreign country to pray Friday prayer at noon (as Dhuhr) due to travel circumstances and the unavailability of a nearby mosque, or must he go to the mosque even if it is far and costly? And is the Friday sermon valid in a language other than Arabic?

Scholars differ regarding a traveler who intends to stay four days in a certain town: whether the rulings of travel cease for him or not. The fatwa adopted by us is that the rulings of travel cease for him, and he is considered a resident. Therefore, you must endeavor to attend the Friday prayer as long as the town you are staying in holds Friday prayers, and ignorance of the mosque's location is no excuse. As for renting a car for Friday prayer, you are not originally required to do so; the obligation is to endeavor to go on foot or by riding. However, if walking causes unbearable hardship, and you are able to rent a car at a reasonable, non-exorbitant fare, then that becomes obligatory for you. As for the sermon being in a language other than Arabic, it is valid according to most scholars in cases of inability to deliver it in Arabic. Attending it is obligatory even if you do not understand it, provided there is no other option.
