Can one perform the Jumu'ah prayer with tayammum?
Question
If on friday prayers one is in such a situation that he can't perform wudu, can he join the salat by performing the tayammum. By situation I mean if one starts performing wudu, the salat will get completed. I he misses the salat what should he do?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In the enquired case, one is not permitted to do tayammum even if one is unable to join the jum’uah salah.[1] The person shall perform wudhu and if jum’uah salah is missed whilst performing wudhu then one shall perform zuhr salah.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
