So if a speaker says: Why did the author explicitly state the negation of this
A · Unidentified
condition, while silence concerning it necessitates
A · Unidentified
its nonexistence? Mere silence concerning it necessitates its nonexistence. So why did he explicitly state
A · Unidentified
its negation? And the answer is that in that there is a difference of opinion.
A · Unidentified
For indeed, from the scholars are those who say:
A · Unidentified
Indeed, Jumuʿah is not established except with the permission of the Imām, except with the permission of
A · Unidentified
the Imām. And that is because it is a prayer gathering all the people of
A · Unidentified
the town, so it is not permissible that it be prayed, or that it be established, except
A · Unidentified
with the permission of the Imām. And the Imām, when
A · Unidentified
permission is sought from him, it is obligatory upon him to give permission, and it is not lawful for him to
A · Unidentified
prevent. So if it were supposed
A · Unidentified
that he refrained and prevented them from establishing Jumuʿah while it is obligatory,
A · Unidentified
then at that time it drops—or
A · Unidentified
the permission drops. But if it were said—if it were said—with detail,
A · Unidentified
and it is that establishing Jumuʿah in the town
A · Unidentified
is not stipulated for it: the permission
A · Unidentified
of the Imām. As for the multiplicity of Jumuʿah,
A · Unidentified
then it is stipulated for it: the permission
A · Unidentified
of the Imām, so that the people do not play about regarding the multiplicity of Jumuʿah.
A · Unidentified
If this statement were said, it would have a basis.
A · Unidentified
And the practice upon it with us here in Saudi Arabia
A · Unidentified
is that Jumuʿah is not established except after referring back to Dār al-Iftāʾ.
A · Unidentified
And this statement—but there is no doubt that it is a middle statement,
A · Unidentified
and a statement that regulates the people,
A · Unidentified
because if we said: everyone who wished, from a neighborhood,
A · Unidentified
established Jumuʿah without referring back to the imām or the deputy of the imām,
A · Unidentified
the people would become chaos.
A · Unidentified
And every ten in a neighborhood, even if small, would come to say: We want
A · Unidentified
a Jumuʿah; we want a Jumuʿah. So for that reason we say: the correct view
A · Unidentified
is that the origin of establishing Jumuʿah
A · Unidentified
permission of the imām is not stipulated for it.
A · Unidentified
Rather, it is obligatory upon the Muslims, if the conditions are completed among them, that
A · Unidentified
they establish Jumuʿah, whether the imām gives permission or does not give permission.
A · Unidentified
As for the multiplying of Jumuʿahs, then permission of the imām is necessary in it,
A · Unidentified
because the lands are not sound as chaos. And this statement is middle between
A · Unidentified
the two statements, and by it the issue is regulated.
A · Unidentified
And we do not need to seek permission from the imām regarding an obligation from
A · Unidentified
the obligations of his religion, because Jumuʿah is an obligation from the obligations of the religion.
