Jumuah Salaah when one is a musaafir
Question
Is it permissable to miss Jumuah because of flight times while being on holiday?
Answer
If one is a musaafir and it is difficult for one to make it for Jumuah Salaah, then permission has been granted for one to perform Zuhr Salaah. However performing Jumuah Salaah if one is able to is more rewarding.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
