The answer

Friday prayer is an obligatory duty from which one should not be absent except for a valid excuse. Absence from it without a legitimate excuse is a sin, and whoever misses three Friday prayers out of negligence will have his heart sealed.

As for the Eid prayers, scholars have differed concerning them into three opinions: individually obligatory (Hanafis), a confirmed (Shafi'is and Malikis, which is the preponderant view), or a communal obligation (Hanbalis).

Whoever misses the Friday prayer, whether with an excuse or without one, should make it up as a Dhuhr prayer, not as a Friday prayer.

Whoever misses the Eid prayer with the Imam, the preponderant view is that it is sunnah for him to make it up in its original form.
