Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Friday prayer is an obligatory duty. Allah the Almighty says: "O you who have believed, when [the is called] for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah, then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever abandons three Jumu'ahs out of negligence, Allah will seal his heart." The expiation for this sin is sincere repentance, consistently reciting the Quran, engaging in remembrance () and seeking forgiveness (istighfar), performing obligatory prayers with the congregation, and increasing in piety.
