The answer

An illness that makes attending prayer difficult is considered an excuse for missing Friday and congregational prayers. It is not a condition that the illness be severe or chronic; rather, what matters is the hardship. If walking is difficult and one cannot ride, even by paying a fare that is not burdensome, then he is excused. However, if the illness is minor and does not make attending difficult, then it is not an excuse. If the illness causes harm to others, then he is excused. In the event of missing Friday prayer, the Dhuhr prayer should be performed instead.
