Üç Cuma Namazının Terki Hakkındaki Halk İnancının Hadis Kaynaklarındaki Yeri
The Place of Popular Belief about the Abandoning the Friday Prayer Three Times in Hadith Resources

Summary/Abstract: Friday Prayer is an obligatory prayer performed by Muslims once a week on Fridays jointly in mosques. This prayer is considered to be an important prayer by Muslims in the Islamic world and is performed in large communities, while there is also a false belief about it. According to this, not praying Friday prayer three times in a row makes one a hypocrite, thus causing one to renounce the religion. Therefore, if Friday Prayer is not performed for two weeks, it should definitely be performed in the third week to avoid falling into the aforementioned condition. In fact, there are authentic narratives of the negative result of not performing the Friday prayer three times. However, it is clear that these narrations show the importance of Friday prayer and cannot be the basis and justification of being lazy and reckless about this prayer. Again, it is seen that these narrations are misunderstood in terms of general principles of Ahl al-Sunnah belief. According to this, the abandonment of prayer or any religious duty decreases the quality and value of the individual's belief, but does not expel him from religion.
