What is the position of Jum’ah prayer on a journey?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulihsan.com

Q: What is the position of Jum’ah prayer on a journey?

A:

Jum’ah prayer is not mandatory (fard) on  a traveller. It is permissible for him to perform the Zuhr prayer instead of Jum’ah. But since the Jum’ah prayer is far more rewardable than the normal Zuhr prayer, one should not miss it as far as possible even when he is on a journey.
