Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 781/734=B/1430)

If your university is located in the suburbs of the city i.e. it is situated at less than 300 feet from the city, you can perform the Jumu?ah Salah in the university?s musalla. If the university is away from the city in fields with no settlements, you should continue to perform the Jumu?ah in the mosque where you perform regularly.
