The ruling on the Friday prayer when it coincides with the festival prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: If the day of the festival coincides with the day of Friday, is it sufficient to perform one of them, or is it obligatory to attend both? Is it permissible to leave one of them entirely for the congregation?

The Shaykh:
They do not leave it entirely, nor do they leave one of them entirely. However, the one who attended it with the imam is not required to attend the Friday prayer; he is not required to attend the Friday prayer; he is not required to. If he had attended the Friday prayer, it would have been better. As for them all leaving it and saying, “We are not praying Friday,” and no imam or follower ever attends, this is contrary to the Sunnah. Establishing the Friday prayer is necessary.

The questioner:
Is he required to attend the Friday prayer or not?

The Shaykh:
He is not required. Yes.
