The answer

One must strive to attend Friday prayer if the mosque is no more than three miles away (approximately 8 kilometers). However, the prayer of one who was unaware of the mosque's proximity is valid, and there is no sin upon him, due to the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "Indeed, Allah has overlooked for my Ummah mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are coerced into." Friday prayer is not obligatory for a traveler who has not intended to stay for four days or who does not have a wife he has consummated marriage with.
