The answer

If the congregant catches the bowing (rukūʿ) in the first rakʿah of the Friday prayer, and then an impediment occurs, he completes it as a Friday prayer individually. However, if he only catches the opening takbīr and does not catch the bowing, then he prays it as a Dhuhr prayer. This is based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever catches one rakʿah of the prayer has caught the prayer."
