Question
I accept that Jumuah Salaat is not valid in a prison. Is it permissible to sit only during the 'khutbah' for the purpose of ta'leem? A translation is also presented.
Answer
It is not permissible to attend the mock/baatil jumuah khutbah held in prison regardless of the intention. One may not participate in baatil on the basis of a good intention. Good intentions are valid for only acts of obedience, not for sinful deeds.
