Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
Is Juma prayer fard for women who don’t go to the masjid? Is it fard for men who are not able to get to a masjid / jamaat? The question / answer that was just posted confused me. What is the relationship between juma and duhr prayers?
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
Women are not legally obligated to perform Friday prayerwhich can only be performed in congregation. If they do, it counts for the obligatory prayer of the time. Otherwise, the default is that they pray Zuhr.
