The answer

If there is no mosque in your area where Friday prayers are held, then Friday prayer is not obligatory upon you; instead, you pray Dhuhr. You are not required to take leave to go to a place where Friday prayers are held if the distance exceeds a farsakh (a little over 5 kilometers). However, if the distance is a farsakh or less, you are obligated to go there. For the people of a metropolis (city), Friday prayer is obligatory whether they are near or far.
