The answer

Friday prayer is obligatory for every Muslim in congregation, except for four: a slave, a woman, a child, or a sick person, as stated in the حديث طارق بن شهاب ( of Tariq bin Shihab). To these are added the traveler, due to other hadiths that exempt them, and the bedouins. The mention of a specific number in some hadiths does not imply exclusivity, but rather may be for ease, as Islamic rulings are derived from the totality of hadiths.
