Excuses for Absence from the Friday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
There are remaining questions from the brothers and sisters regarding the previous lesson. One of the brothers asks: Honorable Shaykh, what are the most prominent excuses for one who is absent from the Friday prayer?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad. As for the one who is absent from the Friday prayer, first is the one who does not hear the call to prayer, meaning without a loudspeaker, he does not hear the call to prayer without a loudspeaker. Based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9] This indicates that the one who does not hear the call to prayer, if that is his condition, then the Friday prayer is not obligatory upon him. Likewise, the congregational prayer is not obligatory upon him. Likewise, the sick person who is unable to attend the Friday prayer. Likewise, the one stationed at a frontier or at a security post that requires his presence. It is not obligatory for him to attend the Friday prayer; attending the Friday prayer is dropped from him. Yes.
May Allah greet you and bless you.

Based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ
