Is my prayer valid, or do I have to make it up, if I stopped praying Friday prayer to chase and kill a snake, then returned to pray with the Imam, having missed the first rak'ah and part of the second rak'ah?

Whoever misses the bowing (ruku') with the Imam in the second rak'ah of Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) has missed Jumu'ah and is obligated to pray Dhuhr (noon prayer) with four rak'ahs. Therefore, he must repeat the prayer as Dhuhr for that day.
