The Friday Prayer for Those on Military Shifts

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: We are in a military base, and we take a day off and work a day. On Friday, some of us go to the mosque and the others pray it as Zuhr. We are on call at any time and must be present. The question is: Which group is correct? And what do we do about the prayers we have already performed?

Answer:
The one who is able to attend the Friday prayer must go . If they are able to go to the Friday prayer, it is obligatory for them to do so, and it is not permissible for them to pray it as Zuhr. However, if their work requires them to stay and they cannot go to the prayer because they may be called at any moment for security matters, this is an excuse. This is an excuse; they pray in their place and pray Zuhr. As for the one who is able, he goes to the Friday prayer and prays it with the Muslims. Even if they are, for example, divided into two sections or shifts, those whose shifts do not coincide with the Friday prayer must pray the Friday prayer with the people. Those whose shifts coincide with the Friday prayer are excused and pray it as Zuhr in their place. Yes.
