The ruling on praying the Friday prayer as the midday prayer for one who does not hear the call to prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He asks and says: I know that the one who abandons the Friday prayer in congregation three times will have his heart blackened, but I work on a farm far from the city, and I pray the Friday prayer as the midday prayer. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
If you are far from the city, and you work on a farm, and you do not hear the call to the Friday prayer, then there is no Friday prayer required of you. Allah the Exalted said:
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ahيَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ
[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9]
that you hasten to the remembrance of Allah. This indicates that the one for whom the Friday prayer is obligatory is the one who hears the call. You are far away and do not hear the call, so the Friday prayer is not obligatory for you. However, if it is easy for you to attend, that is better for you. Yes.
