The Tabliqi Jamaat holds the friday prayer in a tent during their annual ijtima. Can anyone thus put up a mimbar and invite the Muslims to congregate there for the Jumu’ah prayer? Is it compulsory to hold the Jumu’ah salaat in an established Musjid?
The validity of a Jummu’ah Salaat is not dependant on it being performed in
a Masjid. It may be performed in a Jamaat Khana or an open field as well.
Therefore, the Jummu’ah performed during the Ijtima in a tent on an open
field is valid.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
