IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-352 : HUKUM SOLAT JUMAAT DI MASJID KARIAH LAIN
May a person who is domiciled in one area but works in another perform Friday prayer at a mosque in a different parish?
Short answer
The discussion centres on the validity condition that a Friday congregation has at least 40 male residents who meet the obligatory conditions and are domiciled in that place.

Summary
The discussion centres on the validity condition that a Friday congregation has at least 40 male residents who meet the obligatory conditions and are domiciled in that place. A person who is merely staying there without domicile is still obliged to attend Friday prayer and the prayer is valid, but he is not counted toward the 40. Domicile means settling in a place without intending to move and not travelling away from it except out of need.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Orang yang bermastautin ialah orang yang tinggal di suatu tempat dan tidak ada niat untuk berpindah ke tempat lain.
