Friday prayer is obligatory for men who are able to attend it. Inability to bow (rukūʿ) and prostrate (sujūd) does not exempt one from its obligation; rather, gesturing for them suffices. Whoever is able to go to the mosque must perform the Friday prayer with the congregation, repent to Allah, and must make it up as a Dhuhr prayer if they did not pray it at its prescribed time.
