Question

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?

Answer

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.
