Answer

(Fatwa: 471/324/L=1431)

If you are excused for going to mosque to pray Jumuah salah, in this condition Jumuah salah is not fardh on you.

و قدرته على المشى جزم فى البحر بأن سلامة أحدهما له كاف فى الوجوب لكن قال التمنى وغيره لا تجب على مفلوج الرجل و مقطوعها (درمختار) وفى الشامى: أجاب السيد أبوالسعود بحمل مافى البحر على العرج الغير المانع من المشى وماهنا على المانع منه (شامى 31/29 باب الجمعة).

But you will offer Zuhar salah at your home not Jumuah.
