The Ruling on Holding Friday Prayer Without the Permission of the Authority

Question
Is it permissible to hold Friday prayer without the permission of the authority or their representative?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to hold it without the permission of the ruler or his deputy, and it must be in an authorized place, and it must not be exclusive to a group of people. God knows best.
