To those that use Masjid Nagoya, Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
We hope each and everyone is safe and doing well.
Half a year has already passed since the Friday prayer was suspended at the end of February. Since then, the Japanese government has lifted the declaration of state of emergency, and Aichi Prefecture has also lifted their own declaration last month. Following these changes, Masjid Nagoya has decided to resume the Friday prayers under the conditions mentioned here.
Firstly, to control and limit the number of people that gather, we kindly request for your cooperation with the following:
・Individuals who are able to perform their Friday prayer at home, school, or workplace are requested to continue the prayer there.
・Friday prayer is an obligation for adult men. However, women, children, and the sick are exempted from this obligation. Those that are not under obligation from offering the prayer are requested to refrain from coming to the Masjid.
The Prophet (SAW) said, “Do not cause harm or return harm” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 2340]
As well, ‘Abdullah b. ‘Abbas reported that he said to the Mu’adhdhin on a rainy day:
‘When you have announced “I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,” do not say: “Come to the prayer,” but make this announcement: “Say prayer in your houses.” He (the narrator) said that the people disapproved of it. Ibn ‘Abbas said: Are you astonished at it? He (the Holy Prophet), who is better than I, did it. Jumu’a prayer is no doubt obligatory, but I do not like that I should (force you) to come out and walk in mud and slippery ground’. [Sahih Muslim 699]
