MORE ABOUT THE ṢALĀH

In the Name of Allāh.

I earlier discussed the obligation of Jumu’ah prayer that, the one who abandons the Jumu’ah prayer without a valid reason (in Islām) is undoubtedly a sinner. However, the exempted (i.e. those known to have valid excuses) include a traveler (who can shorten his prayer), a sick (who is not vibrant enough to set out for prayer), and one with a sick person (whilst at severe …
