Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters says: My husband is unable to go to the mosque. Is it permissible for him to pray the Friday prayer before its time, and likewise the other prayers at home?

Answer:
The other prayers at home: if he is unable to go to the congregational prayer, he prays at home because he is excused. As for the Friday prayer, if he is also excused and unable to go to it, he prays it as the midday prayer (Zuhr) at home; he does not pray it as the Friday prayer at home, but as the midday prayer. Yes, four rak'ahs. Yes.
