#2 Taudhih Al-Hukmi Isu Mustautin dan Muqim Bagi Orang Bekerja
Are workers who live in Selangor but work outside their home parish counted among the 40 men required for a valid Friday prayer?
Short answer
The most correct view in the Shafi'i school is that a muqim who is not a mustautin is not counted among the 40, but Abu Ali Ibn Abi Hurairah held that such persons are counted.
A reference, not a fatwa. First sentence of the summary below — read the original fatwa and consult your state authority before acting.

Summary
The most correct view in the Shafi'i school is that a muqim who is not a mustautin is not counted among the 40, but Abu Ali Ibn Abi Hurairah held that such persons are counted. The article suggests relying on the second view because of the difficulty of distinguishing muqim from mustautin in Selangor, a case of general hardship (umum al-balwa). Hence a person living in Selangor and working outside his parish is still counted among the 40 and must perform Friday prayer at a mosque near his workplace. The article is an explanatory piece and not the official position of the Mufti of Selangor.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan pendapat ini, solat Jumaat tetap sah dengan menjadikan golongan muqim termasuk dalam 40 ahli Jumaat sebagaimana golongan mustautin.
