On Friday, the Friday prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah) is legislated as a replacement for the Dhuhr prayer for free, resident men. Its time begins with the sun's decline (Zawal). As for the Dhuhr prayer, it is not performed on Friday except by those who do not perform the Friday prayer, such as travelers, women, the sick, and those who missed the Friday prayer. They perform it as four rak'ahs, just like the Dhuhr prayer on other days.
