Is it permissible to perform Friday Prayer at home, following the Imam of the adjacent mosque, given that the house is directly next to the mosque?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Among the conditions for the validity of Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) is that it be performed in the mosque. It is permissible to perform it outside the mosque in the streets if the mosque is full and the rows are connected. However, the presence of a barrier that prevents seeing the rows invalidates the prayer. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to pray Jumu'ah in her home.
