Must the prayers be re-offered after intending to pray two rak'ahs of Dhuhr prayer on Friday instead of Friday prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The jurists differed on the ruling concerning performing Jumu'ah prayer with the intention of Dhuhr prayer, holding two opinions:

The first opinion: Its validity, considering it a shortened Dhuhr prayer.

The second opinion: Its invalidity, asserting that Jumu'ah is an independent prayer and cannot be performed with the intention of Dhuhr.

The correct view is the second opinion, which states that Jumu'ah is an independent prayer. Therefore, whoever intends it as Dhuhr, their prayer is not valid. However, if this was due to ignorance of the matter, then there is nothing upon them, and they must intend Jumu'ah in the prayers to come.
