Summary
The Friday prayer is valid if the person managed to join the imam for one rakaah, namely the first, even if he separates from the imam during the final tashahhud because of an excuse. The fatwa mentions an opinion attributed to Ibn Hajar al-Haitami that separating means the Friday prayer is not obtained for one who only caught the second rakaah, but it leans towards the first view. A person who breaks wind during the prayer incurs no sin if he performs ablution and rejoins the congregation, and if he catches one rakaah he obtains the Friday prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jawapannya adalah sah solat Jumaatnya kerana dia sempat mendapat satu rakaat, yakni rakaat pertama dengan Imam.
