فَضْلُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ
The Supreme Importance of Juma
Friday is the best day of the week, the day Allah chose for the Muslims. It is the master of all days, superior to Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. On this day, Adam (عليه السلام) was created, entered Paradise, and left it. The Day of Judgment will also occur on a Friday.
- The Best Day of the Week: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he was admitted to Paradise, and on it he was expelled from it." (Sahih Muslim 854)
- Obligatory for Muslim Men: Attending Juma prayer is Fard (obligatory) upon every adult, sane, resident Muslim male. Missing it without valid excuse is a major sin.
- The Hour of Acceptance: There is a blessed hour on Friday when Allah accepts every dua made by a Muslim. The majority of scholars say it occurs during the last hour before Maghrib or while the Imam delivers the Khutba.
- Sins Are Forgiven: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever performs Wudu properly, then comes to Juma prayer, listens attentively and keeps silent, his sins between that Friday and the previous Friday will be forgiven, plus three more days." (Sahih Muslim 857)
- Reward Like Giving Charity: Coming early to Juma earns tremendous reward. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, comes early, sits close to the Imam, listens attentively and does not engage in idle talk, for every step he takes he will have the reward of fasting and praying for one year." (Sunan Abu Dawud 345)
- Angels Record Names: Angels stand at the doors of the mosque on Friday morning, recording who comes first, second, third, and so on. When the Imam sits on the pulpit, they close their records and come to listen to the Khutba. (Sahih Bukhari 929)
- Charity on Friday: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best charity is that given on Friday." Every good deed on Friday carries extra reward and blessings.
- Protection from Hypocrisy: The Prophet ﷺ warned, "Whoever misses three Juma prayers out of negligence, Allah will seal his heart." (Sunan Abu Dawud 1052) Regular attendance protects from spiritual darkness.
- Elevated Status: Those who attend Juma regularly with proper etiquette are raised in ranks, their sins are forgiven, and their faces shine with Nur (light) on the Day of Judgment.
- Better Than Eid: Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said, "This day of Juma is something Allah has made obligatory upon you. So whoever witnesses it should perform Ghusl, apply perfume if available, and use Miswak."
- Day of Gathering: On the Day of Judgment, all nations will be gathered, but Muslims will be the first to be called because they honored Friday in this world.
- Complete Forgiveness: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The five daily prayers, from one Juma to the next, are expiation for whatever sins come in between, as long as one avoids major sins." (Sahih Muslim 233)
أَحَادِيثُ نَبَوِيَّةٌ عَنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ
Authentic Hadith on Friday
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ، وَفِيهِ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَفِيهِ أُخْرِجَ مِنْهَا، وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ
English: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he was admitted to Paradise, on it he was expelled from it, and the Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established except on Friday."
رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا: سب سے بہترین دن جس پر سورج طلوع ہوا ہے جمعہ کا دن ہے۔ اسی دن حضرت آدم علیہ السلام کو پیدا کیا گیا، اسی دن انہیں جنت میں داخل کیا گیا، اسی دن انہیں وہاں سے نکالا گیا، اور قیامت بھی جمعہ کے دن ہی قائم ہوگی۔
Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: Sabse behtar din jis par suraj tala hai Juma ka din hai. Isi din Hazrat Adam AS ko paida kiya gaya, isi din unhe Jannat mein dakhil kiya gaya, isi din unhe wahan se nikala gaya, aur Qayamat bhi Juma ke din hi qaim hogi.
📖 Sahih Muslim 854
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ تَرَكَ ثَلَاثَ جُمَعٍ تَهَاوُنًا طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ
English: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever misses three consecutive Juma prayers out of negligence and carelessness, Allah will seal his heart."
رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا: جو شخص غفلت اور سستی کی وجہ سے تین جمعے لگاتار چھوڑ دے تو اللہ تعالیٰ اس کے دل پر مہر لگا دیتا ہے۔
Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: Jo shakhs ghaflat aur susti ki wajah se teen Jume lagataar chhod de to Allah Ta'ala uske dil par mohar laga deta hai.
📖 Sunan Abu Dawud 1052, Sunan at-Tirmidhi 500
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ غَسَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ وَابْتَكَرَ، وَمَشَى وَلَمْ يَرْكَبْ، وَدَنَا مِنَ الْإِمَامِ فَاسْتَمَعَ وَلَمْ يَلْغُ، كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ عَمَلُ سَنَةٍ أَجْرُ صِيَامِهَا وَقِيَامِهَا
English: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday and causes others to do Ghusl (by his example), then goes early and arrives early, walks and does not ride, sits close to the Imam, listens attentively and does not engage in idle talk - for every step he takes, he will have the reward of fasting and praying (Qiyam) for one year."
رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا: جو شخص جمعہ کے دن غسل کرے اور دوسروں کو بھی غسل کرائے، پھر جلدی نکلے اور جلدی پہنچے، پیدل چلے اور سواری نہ کرے، امام کے قریب بیٹھے، غور سے سنے اور لغو بات نہ کرے تو اسے ہر قدم کے بدلے ایک سال کے روزے اور قیام کا ثواب ملے گا۔
Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: Jo shakhs Juma ke din Ghusl kare aur doosron ko bhi Ghusl karaye, phir jaldi nikle aur jaldi pahunche, paidal chale aur sawari na kare, Imam ke qareeb baithe, ghaur se sune aur lagw baat na kare to use har qadam ke badle ek saal ke rozay aur qiyam ka sawab milega.
📖 Sunan Abu Dawud 345, Sunan Ibn Majah 1087
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ لَسَاعَةً لَا يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا خَيْرًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ
English: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There is an hour on Friday when if a Muslim servant happens to ask Allah for something good during that time, Allah will surely grant it to him." And he gestured with his hand indicating how short that time is.
رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا: جمعہ کے دن ایک ایسی گھڑی ہے کہ اگر کوئی مسلمان بندہ اس وقت اللہ سے کوئی بھلائی مانگے تو اللہ تعالیٰ ضرور اسے عطا فرماتا ہے۔ اور آپ ﷺ نے اپنے ہاتھ سے اشارہ کیا کہ یہ وقت بہت مختصر ہے۔
Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: Juma ke din ek aisi ghadi hai ke agar koi Musalman banda us waqt Allah se koi bhalai mange to Allah Ta'ala zaroor use ata farmata hai. Aur Aap ﷺ ne apne haath se ishara kiya ke yeh waqt bahut mukhtasar hai.
📖 Sahih Bukhari 935, Sahih Muslim 852
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ مَا لَمْ تُغْشَ الْكَبَائِرُ
English: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The five daily prayers and from one Friday prayer to the next Friday prayer are expiation for whatever sins come in between them, as long as major sins are avoided."
رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا: پانچ نمازیں اور ایک جمعہ سے دوسرے جمعہ تک، ان کے درمیان کے گناہوں کا کفارہ ہیں، جب تک کہ کبیرہ گناہوں سے بچا جائے۔
Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: Paanch namazein aur ek Juma se doosre Juma tak, in ke darmiyan ke gunahon ka kaffara hain, jab tak ke kabira gunahon se bacha jaye.
📖 Sahih Muslim 233
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ كَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مَلَائِكَةٌ يَكْتُبُونَ الْأَوَّلَ فَالْأَوَّلَ، فَإِذَا جَلَسَ الْإِمَامُ طَوَوْا الصُّحُفَ وَجَاءُوا يَسْتَمِعُونَ الذِّكْرَ
English: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When Friday comes, angels stand at the doors of the mosque and record who comes first, then the next, then the next. When the Imam sits (on the pulpit), they close their records and come to listen to the Dhikr (Khutba)."
رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا: جب جمعہ کا دن ہوتا ہے تو مسجد کے ہر دروازے پر فرشتے کھڑے ہوتے ہیں اور پہلے آنے والے کو، پھر اگلے کو، پھر اگلے کو لکھتے ہیں۔ جب امام (منبر پر) بیٹھ جاتا ہے تو وہ اپنی کتابیں بند کر دیتے ہیں اور ذکر (خطبہ) سننے آ جاتے ہیں۔
Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: Jab Juma ka din hota hai to masjid ke har darwaze par farishtay khaday hotay hain aur pehle aane wale ko, phir aglay ko, phir aglay ko likhtay hain. Jab Imam (mimbar par) baith jata hai to woh apni kitabein band kar detay hain aur Zikr (Khutba) sunne aa jatay hain.

سُنَنُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ
Sunnah Acts on Friday
Take a complete bath on Friday morning. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Ghusl on Friday is obligatory upon every adult who has reached puberty."
Wear your best and cleanest clothes. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized good appearance on Friday more than any other day.
Apply good fragrance (Itr/Attar) before going to the mosque. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Every Muslim should apply perfume on Friday."
Clean your teeth thoroughly with Miswak or toothbrush. Oral hygiene is especially emphasized on Friday.
Cut nails, trim mustache, remove body hair. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized complete grooming and cleanliness on Friday.
Arrive at the mosque as early as possible. The earlier you come, the greater the reward - like charity of a camel, cow, ram, chicken, or egg.
Walk to the mosque instead of driving if possible. You get reward for every step taken towards Allah's house.
Recite the entire Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18) on Friday. It brings light between two Fridays and protection from Dajjal.
Send abundant blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ. He said, "Send abundant Salawat upon me on Friday and Friday night."
Upon entering the mosque, pray at least 2 Rakats Tahiyyatul Masjid, then more Nafl prayers until the Khutba begins.
Sit as close as possible to the Imam and the front rows. The best rows are those closest to the Imam.
Listen to the Khutba with complete attention. Do not talk, use mobile phones, or engage in any activity.
Do not step over people's necks to reach the front. The Prophet ﷺ rebuked someone who did this during the Khutba.
Make excessive dua, especially in the last hour before Maghrib - the blessed hour when duas are accepted.
Give charity on Friday as it is more virtuous. The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best charity is that given on Friday."
Visit sick Muslims on Friday. This act is especially virtuous and brings immense reward on the best day of the week.
خُطْبَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ
Juma Khutba (Friday Sermon)
The Khutba is the sermon delivered by the Imam before the Juma prayer. It consists of two parts (Khutbas) separated by a brief sitting. The Khutba is an essential pillar of Juma prayer - without it, the Juma prayer is not valid. During the Khutba, it is obligatory to listen attentively and strictly forbidden to talk, use mobile phones, or engage in any activity whatsoever.
Structure & Components of Khutba
- First Khutba: The Imam stands, praises Allah (Hamd), sends blessings on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Durood), recites a verse from the Quran, gives advice and reminder (Naseeha) to the congregation, and addresses current issues facing Muslims.
- Brief Sitting (Juloos): The Imam sits down briefly between the two Khutbas. This is a Sunnah that distinguishes Friday Khutba from other speeches.
- Second Khutba: The Imam stands again, continues with more advice, makes comprehensive duas for all Muslims worldwide, supplicates for Muslim rulers and leaders, and concludes with final reminders.
- Iqamah & Prayer: After completing both Khutbas, the Imam descends from the pulpit, Iqamah is called, and the congregation prays 2 Rakats of Juma Fard prayer together.
Etiquettes & Rules During Khutba
- Complete Silence is Obligatory: Speaking during the Khutba is strictly forbidden. Even saying "Be quiet" to someone or "Ameen" loudly is prohibited. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you say to your companion 'Be quiet' while the Imam is giving Khutba, you have engaged in idle talk." (Sahih Bukhari 934)
- No Mobile Phones: Turn off or silence your mobile phone before the Khutba begins. Using it during Khutba nullifies the reward of your Juma prayer.
- Listen Attentively: Focus completely on what the Imam is saying. This listening is an act of worship. The Prophet ﷺ said, "When the Imam is delivering the Khutba, and you ask your companion to be quiet and listen, you have engaged in idle talk." (Sahih Muslim 851)
- Face the Imam: Turn your face and body towards the Imam delivering the Khutba. Do not turn away or face other directions.
- No Dhikr or Tasbeeh: Do not engage in verbal dhikr, reciting tasbeeh, reading Quran, or any other act during the Khutba. Just listen.
- No Greeting (Salam): Do not give or return Salam during the Khutba. If someone gives you Salam, gesture with your hand but do not speak.
- No Eating or Drinking: Do not eat, drink, or chew gum during the Khutba. Wait until after the prayer.
- If You Enter Late: If you arrive while the Imam is giving Khutba, quickly pray 2 Rakats of Tahiyyatul Masjid (very brief), then sit and listen. Do not miss this 2 Rakat Sunnah even if Khutba has started.
- Stay Seated: Remain seated throughout the Khutba. Do not get up, stretch, or move around unless absolutely necessary.
- Control Children: Keep children quiet and calm during the Khutba. If they cry or make noise, take them outside temporarily.
- Make Silent Dua: You can make silent dua in your heart while listening to the Khutba. This is the blessed hour when duas are accepted.
- Show Respect: The Khutba is a form of Dhikr (remembrance of Allah). Show it the same respect you would show to Quranic recitation.

Special Note About the Blessed Hour
The majority of scholars state that the blessed hour when Allah accepts every dua occurs during one of two times on Friday: (1) While the Imam is giving the Khutba, or (2) The last hour before Maghrib. Therefore, make abundant dua during the Khutba silently in your heart, and also dedicate the time before Maghrib for special supplications. This is your golden opportunity to have your prayers answered!

اے اللہ! تو میرا رب ہے، تیرے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں۔ تو نے مجھے پیدا کیا اور میں تیرا بندہ ہوں، اور میں حتی الوسع تیرے عہد اور وعدے پر قائم ہوں۔ میں تیری پناہ چاہتا ہوں اس برائی سے جو میں نے کی۔ میں تیری نعمتوں کا اقرار کرتا ہوں جو تو نے مجھ پر کیں، اور اپنے گناہ کا بھی اقرار کرتا ہوں۔ پس مجھے بخش دے کیونکہ گناہ تیرے سوا کوئی نہیں بخش سکتا۔
Hinglish Translation
Ae Allah! Tu mera Rabb hai, tere siva koi mabood nahi. Tu ne mujhe paida kiya aur main tera banda hoon, aur main hatti-al-wusa tere ahad aur wadey par qaim hoon. Main teri panah chahta hoon is burai se jo main ne ki. Main teri nematon ka iqrar karta hoon jo tu ne mujh par kin, aur apne gunaah ka bhi iqrar karta hoon. Pas mujhe bakhsh de kyunki gunaah tere siva koi nahi bakhsh sakta.

Nafl (Voluntary) Prayers on Friday
Prayers Before Juma (Qablal Juma)
There is no fixed Sunnah prayer before the Juma prayer. However, scholars strongly recommend praying Nafl (voluntary) prayers from the time you enter the mosque until the Imam begins the Khutba. These Nafl prayers can be 4, 6, or 8 Rakats, prayed in sets of 2 Rakats each.
- Tahiyyatul Masjid (2 Rakats): When you enter the mosque, first pray 2 Rakats of Tahiyyatul Masjid (greeting the mosque). This is strongly recommended and should not be skipped even if the Khutba has already started.
- 4 Rakats Nafl: After Tahiyyatul Masjid, you can pray 4 Rakats of Nafl (2+2) before the Khutba begins. These are highly rewarded.
- 6 or 8 Rakats if Early: If you arrive very early, you can pray up to 6 or 8 Rakats total (all in sets of 2 Rakats each) to maximize your reward.
- Recitation in Nafl: In these Nafl prayers, you can recite any Surah after Al-Fatiha. Common practice is to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas, or other short Surahs.
- Sit Close After Nafl: After completing your Nafl prayers, sit as close as possible to the Imam and engage in dhikr, Quran recitation, or silent dua until the Khutba begins.
Prayers After Juma (Ba'dal Juma)
After completing the 2 Rakat Fard of Juma prayer, there are established Sunnah prayers to be performed. The Prophet ﷺ regularly prayed Sunnah after Juma.
- 4 Rakats Sunnah Muakkadah (Emphasized): The Prophet ﷺ used to pray 4 Rakats after Juma prayer in the mosque. These are prayed in 2 sets of 2 Rakats each. This is Sunnah Muakkadah (emphasized Sunnah) that should not be missed.
- 2 Rakats Sunnah (Alternative Opinion): Some scholars also mention 2 Rakats as Sunnah after Juma if prayed at home. The 4 Rakats in the mosque is more emphasized.
- 2 Rakats Nafl (Additional): After the Sunnah, you can pray an additional 2 Rakats of Nafl if you wish to earn extra reward.
- Method: All these prayers after Juma are prayed silently (not loudly). Each 2 Rakats is prayed separately with Tashahhud and Salam.
- Total Recommended After Juma: Minimum 4 Rakats Sunnah (2+2), Optional additional 2 Rakats Nafl. Total 6 Rakats maximum as regular practice.

Complete Guide to Juma Prayer
The Juma prayer consists of only 2 Rakats Fard (instead of the regular 4 Rakats of Zuhr prayer). It is prayed in congregation behind an Imam after the Khutba (sermon). The Juma prayer replaces the Zuhr prayer on Friday for those who attend. It is obligatory upon every adult, sane, resident Muslim male.
Essential Conditions for Juma Prayer
- 2 Rakats Fard Only: Juma prayer is only 2 Rakats of Fard (obligatory), performed in congregation after the Khutba.
- Must Be Led by Imam: The prayer must be led by an Imam and prayed in congregation. Individual Juma prayer at home is not valid.
- Khutba is Essential: The Khutba (sermon) is a pillar of Juma. Without the Khutba, the Juma prayer is not valid.
- Replaces Zuhr: The Juma prayer replaces the regular 4 Rakat Zuhr (Dhuhr) prayer on Friday for those who attend.
- Must Be in Mosque: The Juma prayer must be performed in a mosque or designated Juma prayer area, not at home.
- Minimum Congregation: According to most scholars, a minimum of 3 people (including the Imam) are required, though some say 40 adult males are needed.
- Within Zuhr Time: Juma must be prayed during the time of Zuhr (after sun passes zenith until Asr time begins).
- Must Be Resident: Travelers are not obligated to attend Juma prayer; they can pray 4 Rakats Zuhr instead.
Step-by-Step Method of Juma Prayer
FIRST RAKAT:
1. Stand in rows behind the Imam, shoulder to shoulder, with no gaps.
2. Imam says Takbir "Allahu Akbar" - raise hands to ears and say Allahu Akbar.
3. Place right hand over left hand on chest or below navel.
4. Imam recites Surah Al-Fatiha (usually loudly in Shafi'i/Maliki madhabs).
5. Imam recites another long Surah (commonly Al-Jumu'ah or Al-A'la).
6. Say Allahu Akbar and go into Ruku (bowing position).
7. In Ruku, say "Subhana Rabbiyal Azeem" (Glory be to my Lord, the Almighty) 3 times.
8. Stand up from Ruku. Imam says "Sami Allahu liman hamidah", followers say "Rabbana lakal hamd".
9. Say Allahu Akbar and go into first Sajdah (prostration).
10. In Sajdah, say "Subhana Rabbiyal A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) 3 times.
11. Sit up briefly (Jalsa), then say Allahu Akbar and go into second Sajdah.
12. In second Sajdah, say "Subhana Rabbiyal A'la" 3 times again.
13. Say Allahu Akbar and stand up for the second Rakat.
SECOND RAKAT:
14. Imam recites Surah Al-Fatiha.
15. Imam recites another Surah (commonly Al-Munafiqun or Al-Ghashiyah).
16. Complete Ruku and two Sajdahs exactly as in first Rakat.
17. After the second Sajdah, sit for Tashahhud (At-Tahiyyat).
18. Recite At-Tahiyyat, then Durood Ibrahimi, then final Duas.
19. Turn head to the right saying "Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah".
20. Turn head to the left saying "Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah".
✅ Juma Prayer Complete! Now pray 4 Rakats Sunnah Muakkadah (2+2).
Surahs Recited in Juma Prayer
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to recite specific Surahs in the Juma prayer:
- First Rakat - Option 1: Surah Al-Jumu'ah (Chapter 62 - "The Friday")
- Second Rakat - Option 1: Surah Al-Munafiqun (Chapter 63 - "The Hypocrites")
- First Rakat - Option 2: Surah Al-A'la (Chapter 87 - "The Most High")
- Second Rakat - Option 2: Surah Al-Ghashiyah (Chapter 88 - "The Overwhelming")
- Other Options: The Imam may also recite other long Surahs, but the above are most commonly recited based on authentic Sunnah.
📖 Sahih Muslim 877, Sahih Bukhari 891, Sahih Muslim 879
Special Points About Juma Prayer
- Recitation is Loud: According to Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali schools, the Imam recites the Quran loudly in Juma prayer. Hanafi school has different practice.
- No Adhan After Khutba: There is no Adhan called after the Khutba ends. The Iqamah is called directly and prayer begins.
- Stand When Imam Stands: When the Imam stands after the Khutba to lead the prayer, stand up immediately with the congregation.
- Follow the Imam: Do not go into Ruku, Sajdah, or stand before the Imam. Follow him exactly.
- If You Miss a Rakat: If you join late and miss one Rakat with the Imam, complete the missed Rakat after the Imam gives Salam.
- If You Miss Both Rakats: If you arrive after the Imam completes Juma prayer, you must pray 4 Rakats of Zuhr instead of 2 Rakats Juma.
- Women Can Attend: Women are not obligated to attend Juma, but they can attend if facilities are available. They should pray in the women's section.
