Question:
A man arrived at the mosque on Friday at the time of the iqamah (the second call to prayer) and did not catch the khutbah (sermon). Does he pray the Friday prayer or the Zuhr (midday) prayer?
Answer:
He should pray the Friday prayer if he arrives before the imam raises his head from the second rak'ah (unit of prayer). He prays it as Jumu'ah (Friday prayer), praying the remaining rak'ah with the imam. When the imam says the taslim (closing salam), he stands up and completes the Jumu'ah prayer with one rak'ah. However, if he arrives after the imam has raised his head from the second rak'ah, he has missed the Friday prayer. He joins the imam with the intention of praying Zuhr; that is, when the imam says the taslim, he stands up and prays four rak'ahs of Zuhr.
