Those who held that Friday prayer is held in villages and elsewhere

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that some people wrote to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asking him about Jumu'ah. He wrote in reply: "Hold Jumu'ah wherever you are."

Umar bin Abd al-Aziz wrote to Adi bin Adi: "Any people of a village who are not tent-dwellers who keep moving from place to place, appoint over them an amir who will lead them in Jumu'ah."

Ata said that if a village has its houses adjoining one another, they will hold Jumu'ah.

Malik said that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to hold Jumu'ah even at the watering places between Makkah and Madinah.
