The answer

Whoever misses the Friday prayer should pray Dhuhr as four rak'ahs, and praying Jumu'ah as two rak'ahs will not suffice him, because congregational prayer is a condition for Jumu'ah by scholarly consensus. This has been stated by scholars such as Ibn Qudamah, Ibn Abd al-Barr, al-Nawawi, and al-Zayla'i. Thus, Jumu'ah cannot be made up with its conditions, and whoever misses it should pray Dhuhr in its place.
