Question
In the name of Allah, Most Kind Most MercifulAll praise is for Allah, peace and blessings be upon Muhammed (saalahu alayhi wa sallam)to proceed :My question is this :We hold jummah (Friday) prayer at university. A group of brothers came late and they missed the prayer. They decided to pray Dhur as the jummah prayer has been done. The question was do they dhur together in Jammah (congregation) or do they pray Dhur individually. Please advise me with proofs.Jazakallah KhairWasalam
Answer
Praise be to Allah.You should urge the brothers around you to attend Salaat
al-Jumu’ah (Friday prayers) at the right time, because Jumu’ah is of great
importance. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Let
people stop neglecting to attend Jumu’ah, or else Allaah will seal their hearts, then
they will be among the heedless.” (Reported by Muslim, 1432)
He
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also
said: “Whoever neglects Salaat al-Jumu’ah three times with no good reason,
Allaah will put a seal on his heart.” (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 460; he said:
this is a hasan hadeeth).
As for the people who missed Jumu’ah, they should
pray Zuhr, and there is nothing wrong with praying it in jamaa’ah (congregation). And
Allaah knows best.
