Is it permissible for someone entrusted with guarding state property to miss Friday prayer at a nearby mosque if he fears for what he guards after going to prayer?

Guarding is an excuse for whoever fears for something important. Such a person may pray in their place, and the Friday prayer (Jumu'ah) and congregational prayer (jama'ah) are waived for them, unless they find someone to act on their behalf from those upon whom the Friday prayer is not obligatory, such as a slave or women.
