Can I pray Juma Namaz alone without Adhan if the nearest Masjid is 80km away?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalamualikum, I am an India, visting USA these days. I dont have any Masjid nearby and offer prayers at Hotel room, I have figured out Qibla direction. Nearest Masjid is atleast 80km. I am praying alone. Do I need to Adhan before my prayer. Can I pray Juma Namaz Alone ? What are the other things I need to take care in this situation ? Jazak Allahu khair.

Answer

(Fatwa: 773/613/B=1431)

Use compass (a device used to fix the direction of Qiblah) to fix the direction of Qiblah or ask the Muslims living there who know the direction. By praying salah alone salah is accepted. If there are some Muslims present then the better and preferred option is to offer salah with jamat. If you offer salah alone, then too doing Azan and Iqamah before salah is mustahab. It is not lawful for you to offer Jumuah prayer alone, you should offer four rakat Zuhar salah on Friday. The room where you offer salah should not have pictures of living beings, in the same way no pictures should be on the clothes as well as the place of salah. The clothes and your body all should be tahir (clean). If any one of them is unclean, salah will not be valid. Take care of all the mustahab acts and etiquette of wudhu and salah.
