Performing Jumu`ah Prayer by a cripple

Q: Is it obligatory on me to perform Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer, knowing that I use a wheelchair and that I can go to the Masjid only with the help of someone pushing the wheelchair?

A: If there is anyone who can help you to go to perform Jumu`ah Prayer, it is preferable that you should attend it provided your presence causes no harm for the praying people. If you cannot attend it at the Masjid, you can perform it as ordinary Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer, i.e., four Rak`ahs (units of Prayer).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
