The ruling on leaving the Friday prayer to shorten the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And from this matter, the avoidance does not revolve around three; the avoidance is with all of that.

Answer:
There is no objection. If he goes out to a place far away where he does not hear the adhan and is far from the mosques, the Friday prayer is dropped from him; the Friday prayer is dropped from him. But his doing this consecutively, going out every Friday, this contains what it contains of laxity regarding the Friday prayer.
And depriving oneself of the great reward. But he is not considered one who abandons the Friday prayer upon whom the warning applies. That is the one who is sitting in the town, sitting in his house and not praying the Friday prayer, saying that Allah is worshipped in every place, so he prays in his house and leaves the Friday prayer. This is the one upon whom the warning applies. As for a person who is in a remote area and far from the town and does not hear the adhan on Friday, then it is dropped from him. But if he persists in this and makes it a habit, then this is contrary to what is best and contrary to what is preferred, and he deprives himself. However, if he resorts to this as a scheme to drop the Friday prayer, then it is forbidden for him. If the purpose of his going out is to not pray the Friday prayer, then it is forbidden for him; this is not permissible for him. But if he does not shorten the prayer to drop the Friday prayer, but he has a purpose for going out, a need, a purpose, and he does not shorten the prayer to drop the Friday prayer, then this is a difference from what is preferred and what is best.
