Continuation of the Benefits.

The Shaykh : It is derived from this hadith that rain and mud permit leaving the Friday prayer, and a person is excused for leaving the Friday prayer because of them. And if he is excused for leaving the Friday prayer, then it is even more so that he is excused for leaving the congregation. For this reason, the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) counted this among the reports that permit leaving the Friday prayer and the congregation. And if one leaves the Friday prayer, how does he pray?
The student: As Zuhr.

The Shaykh : He prays Zuhr as four rak'ahs.

The questioner : Oh Shaykh

The Shaykh : We have finished taking three.
