Jumu'ah salaah in a small Village

Q: Salaah-276: I am working in Nawagaaw where I am in charge of the Madrasah and am the Imaam. There are only ten to twelve homes here and the Jumu'ah salaah has never been performed here although the Eid salaah is. If the Eid salaah is Waajib (compulsory), with what intention should it be performed, with the intention of Nafl or Waajib? Some say that the Eid salaah will not be valid with the intention of Waajib but only with the intention of Nafl. Will the Eid salaah then be valid with the intention of Nafl?

Answer: Since your village is a small one, neither the Eid salaah nor the Jumu'ah will be Waajib (compulsory). In fact, it is even Makrooh Tahreemi to perform the Eid salaah with the intention of Nafl.2 And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
