The ruling on praying Zuhr instead of Jumu'ah for one who has a lecture
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a student in America, and on Friday, at the time of the Jumu'ah prayer, I have a lecture. If I miss it, it will result in a drop in my academic standing. Is it permissible for me to delay the prayer and then pray it as Zuhr rather than Jumu'ah?
Answer:
In this case, if you suffer harm from going to Jumu'ah, this is a valid legal excuse. It is permissible for you to pray it as Zuhr, as you are excused; what prevented you from attending Jumu'ah is a valid excuse, because it entails harm to your studies and your grades.
