Q 4: If a woman offers Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer, should she perform Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer as well, or is it waived?


A: If a woman offers Jumu`ah Prayer behind an Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) who is leading congregational Jumu`ah Prayer in a Masjid (mosque), it will suffice in place of Zhuhr Prayer, which she should not offer on that day. But if she prays individually, she may only offer Zhuhr Prayer (i.e. Four Rak`ahs), and in that case she is not allowed to offer Jumu`ah Prayer (i.e. Two Rak`ahs).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
