Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who leaves the Friday prayer once or twice in a row, even though he is not pleased with doing so, but is coerced by his guarantor, on the pretext of work, despite the fact that the guarantor is present at the farm and has a car?
Answer:
In any case, leaving the Friday prayer is not permissible, and he is in danger. The one who does it is in danger if he intentionally leaves it. According to a group of scholars, he is considered a disbeliever if he intentionally leaves it. Therefore, it is obligatory to be cautious. In the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 865 And he said: .
The conclusion is that he must be cautious, and he should repent to Allah if he leaves it, and he should make it up as the Zuhr prayer. It is not permissible to obey anyone in this matter, neither the work supervisor nor anyone else. It is obligatory to prioritize the obedience of Allah and His Messenger if he is near the mosque such that he can hear the call to prayer.
As for if he is in a remote place in the desert, far from the town, he prays Zuhr. But as long as he is around the town and can hear the call to prayer, he must pray Friday with the people. Yes.

People must cease to neglect the Friday prayer or Allah will seal their hearts and then they will be among the negligent.
لينتهين أقوام عن ودعهم الجمعات، أو ليختمن الله على قلوبهم، ثم ليكونن من الغافلينWhoever leaves the Friday congregations three times without an excuse, Allah will seal his heart.
من ترك الجمعة ثلاث جمع بغير عذر؛ طبع الله على قلبهThe conclusion is that he must be cautious, and he should repent to Allah if he leaves it, and he should make it up as the Zuhr prayer.
