The
summary
of
the
whole
discussion
of
these
pages
is:

1)
Jumuah
Salaat
in
prison
is
not
valid
according
to
all
Math-habs.
This
is
a
unanimous
Ruling.
While
each
Math-hab
has
its
own
arguments
and
conditions
for
the
invalidity,
they
all
are
agreed
that
Jumuah
is
not
valid
in
prison.




(2)
The
Hanafi
position
is
based
on
the
absence
of
the
condition
of
Ithnul
Aam




(3)
It
was
never
asserted
that
Jumuah
in
prison
is
not
valid
because
the
people
there
happen
to
be
prisoners.
This
is
a
distortion
and
a
blatant
lie.
If
prisoners
are
allowed
to
join
a
valid
Jumuah
Salaat,
their
Jumuah
will
be
valid.
In
fact,
a
prisoner
can
be
even
the
Imaam
to
lead
the
Jumuah
if
it
is
conducted
in
a
place
where
it
is
valid.




(4)
On
Fridays
in
prison,
everyone
should
perform
Zuhr
Salaat
alone,
not
in
Jamaat.
Furthermore,
neither
Athaan
nor
Iqaamah
should
be
recited.


Hidaayat
is
only
from
Allah
Ta`ala.
