Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This is a questioner from France who says: If one leaves the Friday prayer without a valid religious excuse, and he is among those for whom the Friday prayer is obligatory, he says: May Allah reward you. If one leaves the Friday prayer without a valid religious excuse, and he is among those for whom the Friday prayer is obligatory, does he pray it as the midday prayer instead of the Friday prayer?
Answer:
Without a doubt, if he misses the Friday prayer, he prays it as the midday prayer, but he commits a great sin if he leaves the Friday prayer without an excuse, and he is among those for whom the Friday prayer is obligatory. It is not obligatory for four categories: a traveler, a sick person, a woman, or a slave. If he is among them, there is no harm. However, if he is among those for whom the Friday prayer is obligatory and he leaves it, then there is a severe warning for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 865
If he leaves one Friday, then leaves the second, then the third, then the fourth, he should not open this door for himself. Yes.

People must cease to neglect the Friday prayer or Allah will seal their hearts and then they will be among the negligent.
لينتهين اقوام عن ودعهم الجمعات او ليختمن الله على قلوبهم ثم ليكونن من الغافلين.If he leaves one Friday, then leaves the second, then the third, then the fourth, he should not open this door for himself. Yes.
