Question about Jummah

[bambino]

If a muslim male happens to live in a city/community in which there are no arrangments for Jummah and it isn't feasible for him to travel a long distance to another city/community because of restrictions such as the length of a lunch break @ work, then according to the Hanafi Fiqh what should this person do and what options are available to him?

assalamu alaikum

if there is no any jumuah arrangement in your place, then jumuah is not fard upon you. You have to pray salatal dhukr then.

here is the Prerequisites of jumuah prayer.

Is there no way to make Jummah? If im correct according to Hanafi Fiqh you only need 3 people to do it ? If you have tried all the possibilites then im sure you have an excuse to pray Salaatul Dhur instead.

Brief Rulings for the Jumu’ah Khutbah
by Mufti Muhammad Shafi’ رحمه الله (Mufti-e-Azam of Pakistan)

The Jumu’ah Khutbah is a shart (condition) of the prayer. The Jumu’ah prayer is not complete without the khutbah. Furthermore, this condition can only be fulfilled by the performance of dhikrullaah (remembrance of Allah).

It is sunnah for the khutbah of the Jumu’ah and ‘Eidain to be in Arabic, and in opposition to this, to perform the khutbah in another language is a bid’at (innovation). [Sharh Muwatta by Shah Waliullah, Kitaab-ul-Adhkaar of an-Nawawi and Durr-e-Mukhtaar, Shuroot-as-Salaah, Sharh-ul-Ihyaa] Similarly, performing the khutbah in Arabic and then giving its translation in another language before the prayer is also bid’at and must be avoided. Of course, there is no harm in giving the translation after the prayer- rather this is a better way. There is also no harm if the translation is given after the khutbahs for ‘Eidain and it is even better to step away from the mimbar and give the translation, in order that a distinction is made. [As in Taqreedh-ar-Risaalah based on the hadith of Muslim]

It is sunnah to have wuduu’ while giving the khutbah. Not having wuduu’ while giving it is makruh. It is also sunnah to stand up while giving the khutbah- to sit down is makruh. [‘Alamgiri and al-Bahr] It is sunnah to face the people while giving the khutbah. Facing the Qiblah or any other direction while giving it is makruh. [‘Alamgiri and Bahr-ur-Raa`iq]

To say “A’oodhu billahi min ash-shaytaanir-rajeem” softly before starting the khutbah is sunnah. [On the saying of Abu Yusuf, likewise in al-Bahr]

Saying the khutbah in a loud voice so that the people can hear it is sunnah. Saying it softly is also makruh. [‘Alamgiri]

It is sunnah to give a moderately short khutbah and not make it too long. The limit that it should be kept to is the same time as it would take to read one of the Tiwaal-e-Mufassal surahs (any surah between al-Hujuraat and al-Burooj). Making it any longer is makruh. [Shami, ‘Alamgiri, Bahr]

It is sunnah that ten things be observed in the khutbah:

- starting with hamd (praise of Allah);

- glorifying Allah (thanaa);

- saying the shahaadatain;

- sending blessings and salutations (darood wa salaam) on the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam);

- saying some words of instruction and advice;

- reading some verse of the Quran;

- sitting for a little while in between the two khutbahs;

- making du’aa (supplication) for all Muslim men and women;

- saying “Alhamdu lillaah” in the second khutbah as well as thanaa and darood;

- making both khutbahs no longer than the time it takes to read a surah of the Tiwaal-e-Mufassal. [‘Alamgiri, Bahr]

One better. Brother if its not too much, try to migrate to another area or place. Allah loves those that migrate for his cause. Thats if its not too much. And only you can determine that.

[StudentofIslam]

No its three (hanafi Fiqh)The Khateeb the Muazzin and the person listening to the Khutbah (For shafiee fiqh its 40 people)

And Allah Knows best

P.S if anyone can give the rulings for the other schools it would be great I do remember listening to it in Shaykh Riyads Tajrid as Sahih lessons but I cannot remember it exactly so I dont want to say in case I say it wrong.

Its just that i have to go on a student industrial placement next year for 12 months, and most of the placements seem to be in non-muslim communities, thats why im trying to find one that will not cause problems for Jummah.
