The Obligation of the Jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt from it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein

وَ رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «وَقْتُ اَلْجُمُعَةِ زَوَالُ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ وَقْتُ صَلاَةِ اَلظُّهْرِ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ زَوَالُ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ وَقْتُ اَلْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فِي اَلْحَضَرِ نَحْوٌ مِنْ وَقْتِ اَلظُّهْرِ فِي غَيْرِ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ.
Al-Halabi narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام that He said: "The time for the Jumu’ah prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah) is at the sun's decline (zawal), and the time for the Dhuhr prayer while traveling is also at the sun's decline. The time for the Asr prayer on Jumu’ah for those who are not traveling is approximately the same as the Dhuhr prayer on other days."
