Jumu'ah salah in congregation?

[Haya]

 

There's a mosque about 40 meters away from my house, during salah time Imam's recitation can clearly be heard from staying within my house, so would it be allowed to follow the Imam for Jumu'ah?

As it's not necessary for the Imam to make niyyah for sisters in Jam'at for Jumu'ah salah.

 

Can anyone answer?

 

[ummtaalib]

wa'alaykumus salaam Haya,

do you mean that you would follow the imam from within the house?

[Haya]

Yes I'm asking if it's allowed from within the house.

[ummtaalib]

I read something about that in a Q/A somewhere, let me search later inshaAllah

4. The place of the imam and the muqtadi must be the same. This is irrespective of whether being in one place is in reality, such as offering salaat together in one musjid or in one house; or in principle. For example, the imam stands on one end of a bridge over a river and the muqtadis stand behind him with the saffs reaching the opposite end going beyond the bridge. Although there is a river intervening between the muqtadis of the opposite end and the imam, resulting in the place not being the same in reality, but because the saffs in between are continuous, therefore their (the imam’s and the muqtadis of the opposite end) places will therefor be regarded as the same in principle and the jama’at will be valid.

Therefore in sister Haya's case the salaat will be invalid inside her home following the Imam in the masjid due to the saffs not continuing till her home...right?

 

Similar to pilgrims following the imams of the harm in their hotel rooms, their salaah will be invalid

Correct.
