\n Muhammad Bin Ismail...

\n Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Sh azaan and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara, from; \n Abu Ja\u2019far -asws (5 th Imam -asws ) has said: \u2018Allah -azwj Necessitated upon the people, from the Friday to the Friday, thirty-five (35) Sal \u0101 t s; from it is one Sal \u0101 t which Allah -azwj Necessitated to be in a Jam\u2019at , and it is the Friday ( Sal \u0101 t ) and Dropped it from nine \u2013 (i) The young, and (ii) the old, and (iii) the insane, and (iv) the traveller, and (v) the slave, and (vi) the woman, and (vii) the sick, and (viii) the blind, and (iv) the one who was upon more than two Farsakhs (six miles)\u2019.

[7] \n From the above Hadith, it is clear that the Salat-e-Jumah is compulsory when its conditions\u00a0 are fulfiled and it will replace the Zohar Salat on Friday.\u00a0 The nine people as well as those who live outside six miles distance of congregation Salat on Friday are exempt from its mandatory attendance.\u00a0 Hence Salat-e-Jummah is compulsory for everyone but with some exclusions \u2013 the next question arises is: Are there any other exclusions or only the nine (as in above Hadith) plus the 6 miles distance from where is Azan is called, are the only ones?\u00a0 Let\u2019s review first those conditions in which Salat-e-Jummah, under congregations ( Jamat ) becomes compulsory.

\n Mandatory Salat-e-Jummah Conditions: \n Below we look at one of the main conditions of the validity of the holding (the Jumah Salat in congregations) \u2013 is the presence of the Just Imam -asws \u2013 who orders to call people to pray Salat-e-Jumah!\u00a0 If we consider that it will be an imam who is leading the Friday Prayer and he has to be just, then in some places where just imams are calling and leading the Salat-e-Jumah \u2013 it will be valid – whereas at other places it will be invalid!\u00a0 This addresses our question (2).

\n The above will make the Salat-e-Jumah\u2019s status similar to other Salat offered in the Masajid (Mosques) \u2013 which certainly is not the case!\u00a0 These points need further clarifications \u2013 we will try to understand in the following section.
