The answer

One catches the Friday prayer by catching one rak'ah of it. The one who catches it prays another rak'ah to complete it as a Friday prayer, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the Friday prayer or any other [prayer], then his prayer is complete," and "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the prayer has caught the prayer."

As for whoever catches less than a rak'ah, he completes it as a Dhuhr prayer, provided that he intended Dhuhr and its time has begun. If he did not intend Dhuhr or its time had not begun, it becomes a supererogatory prayer. Accordingly, praying three rak'ahs instead of the Friday prayer is not valid, and it must be re-offered as Dhuhr.
