I could not perform Jumu`ah Prayer at its due time


A: Performing Jumu`ah Prayer is obligatory on every Muslim who is male, Mukallaf (person meeting the conditions to be held legally accountable for their actions), free, and either a resident or staying in a place wherein Jumu`ah Prayer is established, for any length of time which means that he is not permitted to shorten the Salah (Prayer). It is not permissible for a Muslim to abandon it except for a Shar`y (Islamically lawful) excuse that prevents one from performing it, such as traveling or a compelling reasons, such as an illness or suchlike. Thus, it is obligatory on you to exert your best effort to perform this great obligation. It is permissible for you not to attend it only if there is a reason that can stand for a Shar`y excuse. Allah (Glorified be He) says: And whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. It is also obligatory on you to perform the Five Obligatory Daily Prayers at their due times without delaying a Salah beyond its prescribed time except when there is a Shar`y excuse that permits you to combine two Salahs together, such as traveling or being ill.May Allah grant us success. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions!
