Question:
I live in France, and my work is at night, so I miss some of the prayers, and I am unable to pray the Friday prayer. Is there a sin on me?
Answer:
If you are unable to pray the Friday prayer, you are excused. However, if you are able and you hear the call to prayer, it is obligatory for you to respond and pray the Friday prayer and the congregation with the Muslims. As for if you are unable, Allah the Exalted and Majestic says:[At-Taghabun 64:16] according to your ability. Yes.
