Summary
Friday prayer is obligatory on every adult, sane, free, resident Muslim male who has no excuse such as illness. A rehabilitation patient who can walk and is able to go to the mosque must attend, while a patient with a genuine excuse is exempted. If attending would only cause pain that can be endured and would not harm others, it is more virtuous for the patient to go. Hospitals are encouraged to help patients who cannot attend to perform the Zuhr prayer, while respecting the advice of the Ministry of Health Malaysia.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pesakit yang boleh berjalan dan mampu pergi masjid, WAJIB pergi solat Jumaat.
