The ruling on traveling after the sun has passed its zenith for fear of missing the group

Question : The first issue is when one fears missing the group.

Answer : If one fears missing the group, meaning he has companions who wish to travel before the Friday prayer, and the sun has passed its zenith, and he fears that the group will leave without him, then he is permitted to travel in this case. This is an excuse for missing the Friday prayer itself, and likewise it is an excuse for traveling after the sun has passed its zenith.
