Questions Regarding The Friday Jumah Prayer
I’ve read the thread written by Mr @Umer25 on the obligation of Friday prayer. I have some questions regarding it but I can’t reply there, that post seems locked. Discussion 30993 • Reply 31037
So I am asking my questions here
- It says the rulers of the Muslims will deliver the Khutbas and lead the prayers. But how can one ruler lead the prayer of millions of Muslims at once? Like if one city has 5 million Muslim men, how can they all gather in one single place and the single ruler lead all these people in prayer? Shouldn’t the city have lots of Masjids with Imams appointed by the ruler to solve this problem?
- What if a non Muslim person is elected as the ruler of the city?
- In today’s time we don’t have that kind of ideal Muslim state which is described in the forum. Today We have different Masjids with many different Imams who are not monitored by the ruler or whatsoever. In many Masjids the Imams preach whatever extreme things they want in the khutbas, sometimes they demean and belittle women so much in their sermons (like comparing educated University going women and non hijabi women with pr*stitutes), sometimes they preach insane amount of hatred against non Muslims. So if someone in today’s time intentionally delays going to the Masjid to avoid the extremist sermons of those extremist Imams or skips going to the Masjid altogether, what is the ruling for them?

The obligation to deliver Friday khutba to Muslim ruler. If he is not there, the Friday sermon will not be delivered, no will Friday prayer be held. However, Muslims still want to hold the prayer and khutba on their own and this is what they a are actually doing.
A Muslim ruler or his representative will perform this duty. Ideal state is not required to do this job.

Salam. Is it obligatory to attend the Jumah if the Muslim ruler of the state preaches extremism in the sermons? Let’s say some Al Qaeda, ISIS or Boko Haram like group establishes an Islamic state and in the Friday sermons the Muslim ruler promotes ideas like suicide bombing, banning women from education, confining women in the house, oppressing non Muslim minorities etc?

A Muslim must perform the Juma prayer when a Muslim ruler arranges it. Their duty is to do Amr bil Maroof and Nahi Anil Munkar (to promote established good and prevent established wrong). However, if a ruler exceeds his limits, the Muslims are required to say Kalma Haq, speak against his wrong ways.
