According to the Maliki school of thought, it is permissible to perform the Friday prayer in the streets connected to the mosque and in the unblocked adjacent buildings, provided that the mosque becomes too crowded for the worshipers or the rows are connected, making it impossible for a worshiper to enter. In this situation, the prayer outside the mosque is valid even if there is space inside it. If the mosque is not crowded and the rows are not connected, and one prays outside the mosque, their Friday prayer is valid, though accompanied by sinfulness or reprehensibility.
