\n\tQuestion<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"We have learnt that the Jumu'ah Khutbah<\/em> must be in Arabic language, according to what Mufti Taqi Usmani wrote ("<\/span>The Language of the Friday Khutbah<\/span><\/a>").<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, I would like to know what's the ruling of having a Khutbah<\/em> in an Arabic dialect (as in Moroccan): what's its status?
\n\tAnd what if most part of the Khutbah<\/em> is in Classical Arabic (Fussha<\/em>), interrupted by parts in Moroccan (or another Arabic dialect) to explain some concepts to the audience made up of not so knowledgeable laymen? What would its status be?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn general, is an Arabic dialect considered the same as Classical Arabic?
\n\tPlease note that certain dialects (as North-African ones) are quite different from Fussha<\/em>, having different words, pronunciation and grammar".<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe following conditions must be met in order for Jummah Salah to be obligatory:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1. To be male
\n\t2. To be within the boundary of a town (Muqeem)
\n\t3. To be healthy (physically able to perform Salah)
\n\t4. The road should be safe
\n\t5. Not to be physically handicapped.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t(Kitabul Fiqh p.603 v.1)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe following conditions are necessary for the Jummah Salah to be correct:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1. A large town<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Jummah Salah will not be valid unless it is held in large towns or cities. To hold Jummah Salah in small villages is not permissible. <\/span><\/span>Saaiduna<\/span><\/span> Ali Radiallahu Anhu has said, “The Jummah and Eid prayers cannot be held except in large towns.” (Mussanaf Abdur Razzaq)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2. Time of Zuhr prayer
\n\t3. The Khutbah
\n\t4. Congregation
\n\t5.<\/span><\/span>Izn<\/span><\/span> Aaam (general call for the prayer)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith regards to your question, as your workplace is no more than 77 km from your home (this is the distance required in order for you to be considered a traveller thus excluding you from Jummah Salah), then you should hold the Jummah Salah at the place of work:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1. The village you work in is big enough to be considered as a large town or city.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA large town is where the number of males upon whom the Jummah Salah is compulsory is so large that no mosque in the town could accommodate all of them together. (Ilmul Fiqh p.146 v.2)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother definition of Mufti Mahmood Saheb (RA) is that the village is such that there are shopping malls, basic necessities can be found and the local population is between three and four thousand. (Fatawa Mahmoodiyah p.301 v.1)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThere are three people besides the Imam (four Muslims) constitutes a congregation. The presence of females or minors only is not enough. (Raddul Muhtar p.24 v.3)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom the aforementioned information, we can determine that the khutbah is an integral part of the Jummah salah. The <\/span><\/span>sunnah<\/span><\/span> of the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu <\/span><\/span>Alahi<\/span><\/span> Wasalam and the Companions was to perform the khutbah in classical Arabic. Therefore, the conclusion to your question is that it will be considered Makruh Tanzihi (slightly disliked) to perform the khutbah in Arabic dialect.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
