Missing the Friday prayer due to work

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
Anwar from Jeddah is with us. Anwar. Anwar from 'Asir. Go ahead, Anwar.

The questioner:
Hello, peace be upon you.

The presenter:
And upon you be peace.

The questioner:
May Allah keep you in good health, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Peace.

The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe, Shaykh. I have two questions, may Allah preserve you.

The presenter:
Please proceed.

The questioner:
Shaykh, sometimes I work from Thursday afternoon until Friday afternoon, and I am forced, Shaykh, to pray the Friday prayer at work, and sometimes I miss it. What is the ruling, Shaykh? Do I pray it as the midday prayer? Sometimes I do. What is the ruling?

The Shaykh:
If you miss the Friday prayer, you must pray it as the midday prayer. However, if you are able to pray the Friday prayer, but you are a traveler, you say, "I am a traveler," then the Friday prayer is not obligatory for you. But if you are not a traveler, you must pray the Friday prayer if you are able. And if you miss it, you pray it as the midday prayer. Yes.
