The Shaykh : As for the other and final issue, which is the statementThe questioner :
Abu Hanifah and Abu Yusuf say: "Whoever catches the tashahhud with the imam has caught the Jumu'ah, so he should pray two rak'ahs after the imam's taslim, and his Jumu'ah is complete".
The question: What is your opinion of this statement?
I say: This statement is incorrect. The correct view in this matter is what Imam al-Shafi'i and others held, that whoever catches one rak'ah of the Jumu'ah prayer has caught the Jumu'ah, and if not, he prays it as Zuhr. This is also what we explained in my previously mentioned treatise, *Al-Ajwibat al-Nafi'ah* (The Beneficial Answers), where we clarified that Imam al-Shafi'i's opinion in this issue is the correct one: whoever catches one rak'ah of the Jumu'ah prayer has caught the Jumu'ah, and whoever does not catch the Jumu'ah must pray it as Zuhr.
