Missing Jumuah Salaah due to school
Question
Is it allowed to miss Jummah because of school? We cannot offer Jummah in the school and the nearest masjid is 4km.
Answer
It is impermissible. School is not fardh, but jumuah is fardh.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
