Whoever missed the Friday Prayer, should pray it as a Zuhr Prayer of Four Rak'ahs

Question :

Should a person pray two Rak'ahs if he missed the Friday prayer?

Answer:

The majority of the scholars of Fiqh hold that whoever missed the Friday prayer must pray it as Zuhr, consisting of four Rak'ahs in congregation, if that is possible. If not, he should offer the Zuhr prayer alone. This is the correct view, according to the authentic Hadith of Jabir bin 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, which states that when the Prophet delivered the sermon to the people during the Farewell Pilgrimage in 'Arafat and his standing on 'Arafat was on a Friday the Mu'aththin called the Athan and the Prophet stood up and led his Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, in the Zuhr prayer. Then the Mu'aththin called the Iqamah for the 'Asr prayer and the Prophet led them in the 'Asr prayer, and he did not offer any prayer in between them. And there are other evidences which confirm this. And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet and upon his family.
