Summary
Leaving Friday prayer without a valid shariah excuse is forbidden, because attending it is an individual obligation (fardu ain) on adult men. Women and children are exempted from this obligation. The fatwa cites Surah al-Jumu'ah, verse 9, which calls believers to hasten to the Friday prayer once the call to prayer is made.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum meninggalkan solat Jumaat adalah haram jika tanpa uzur syarie kerana hukum menunanaikannya ialah fardu ain, melainkan kepada perempuan dan kanak-kanak.
