Is it permissible to miss the Friday prayer due to hardship and intense heat, and then make it up after Ramadan?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If you are young and have not reached puberty, Friday prayer is not obligatory for you. However, if you have reached puberty, it is obligatory for you, even if the mosque is far away. You must strive to attend it, even if by walking, if you cannot find transportation and there are no unbearable difficulties preventing you. If striving for Friday prayer conflicts with fasting and it is difficult for you to combine them, Friday prayer takes precedence because prayer is more emphasized than fasting. He should then strive [to attend], and break his fast afterwards if he cannot complete it, and make up for it later. It is advisable to counsel the father and brother and encourage them to attend Friday prayer.
