Among the conditions of the obligation of Jumu`ah Prayer on Muslims is residence.


A: In the above mentioned case, the Jumu`ah Prayer is invalid because among the conditions of its obligation on Muslims is residence. As you are not settled in the place, the Jumu`ah Prayer is not obligatory upon you nor is it valid except if there is a nearby town in which it is established and you observe it with the congregation. In this case (Part No. 7; Page No. 65) it suffices you to offer Zhuhr Prayer. This is because you will then be following the rules applied to the congregation in the town in this regard. Based on your question, you must pray Zhuhr Prayer for every Jumu`ah Prayer which you have observed in the manner mentioned in your question.May Allah grant you success and peace blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions!
