What should one who works in a government job do on Friday until the time of prayer, and cannot leave at prayer time, and there is no place for prayer, given that some scholars have issued fatwas permitting a second Jumu'ah prayer or delaying the prayer until the time of Asr, and the questioner believes this opinion to be invalid; should he pray a second Jumu'ah or pray Dhuhr?

If the work is continuous at the time of Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) and it is difficult to leave to perform it, there is no harm in delaying it until the time of the second Jumu'ah, provided that this does not lead to its time expiring, which ends with the end of the Asr (afternoon prayer) time.
