Summary
As a general rule, Friday prayer at a place recognised by the ruler is performed once each Friday. However, it may be held in more than one session at the same place for different groups of congregants. This requires the ruler's permission and must be based on a benefit (maslahah) accepted by the Shariah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun begitu, ia boleh ditunaikan lebih daripada satu sesi di satu tempat yang sama oleh jemaah yang berbeza atas keizinan ulil amri berdasarkan kemaslahatan yang diterima di sisi syarak.
