The ruling on the Friday prayer if it coincides with a day of festival
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If the day of Jumu'ah coincides with the day of 'Id, should one pray the 'Id prayer with the intention of Jumu'ah, so that the Zuhr and Jumu'ah prayers are dropped from him?
The correct view is that if a person catches up with the imam for the 'Id prayer, he is given a dispensation regarding Jumu'ah: if he wishes, he may attend, and if he wishes, he may not. However, if he does not attend, he must pray Zuhr, because if Jumu'ah is dropped, it has a substitute, which is Zuhr. This applies to the followers (ma'mumin). As for the imam, he is obligated to establish the Jumu'ah prayer, and the 'Id prayer does not suffice in its place, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to establish both the 'Id and Jumu'ah prayers when they fell on the same day.
