Question
What should a person do if he misses the Friday (Jumu‘ah) prayer?
Answer
Whoever misses Jumu‘ah must perform Ṣalāt al-Ẓuhr instead.
❀ Imam al-Nawawi رحمه الله stated:
أجمعت الأمة على أن الجمعة لا تقضى على صورتها جمعة ولكن من فاتته لزمته الظهر
“The Ummah is unanimous that Jumu‘ah cannot be made up in its form as Jumu‘ah. Rather, whoever misses it is obliged to pray Ẓuhr.”
(Al-Majmu‘ 4/509)
