Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hasan and Hazrat Abu Hurairah say that whoever did not offer the Friday prayer in the mosque, his prayer is not valid.

Ibrahim says that there is no harm in offering the Friday prayer in the veranda.

Hasan says that there is no harm in offering the Friday prayer in the courtyard, and if there is no obstacle to entering inside, then the prayer will not be valid.

Hazrat Shaibani says that I saw Hazrat Urwah bin Mughirah bin Shu'bah lead the prayer in the veranda.

Hazrat Zararah bin Aufi said that Hazrat Abu Hurairah saw some people sitting in the courtyard of the mosque. He said to them, "Enter the mosque, because Jumu'ah is only performed in the mosque."

Hasan says that if a person is able to go inside but does not go inside and offers prayer in the veranda, then his prayer is not valid.
