Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5639 — Those who permitted missing Friday

Abd al-Wahhab says: I asked Yunus: "If a man's mother, father or some relative is in the throes of death, may he leave the Jumu'ah?" He said: "Al-Hasan used to give a concession to stay away from Jumu'ah to the one responsible for a funeral who is anxious about it; likewise, the person who has some fear is also permitted to stay away."
