Friday prayers are two rak'ah prayers performed on Friday in congregation after Friday sermon after the Dhuhur time. The Friday prayer law for men is mandatory. This is based on the proposed Friday prayer taken from the Qur'an, As-Sunnah and ijma or agreement of the scholars. The argument is the letter of Al Jumu'ah verse 9 which reads,
Believers, when called to perform the Friday prayer, hasten to remember Allah and abandon the sale and purchase. "
While the hadith of the Prophet who ordered to perform the Friday prayer is from the hadith of Tariq ibn Syihab which sounds,
Jumatan is a compulsory right for every Muslim in congregation, apart from the four (classes), ie slave sahaya, woman, small child or sick person. "(Narrated by Abu Dawud)
Thus, the Javanese prayer law for men is fardhu 'ain, which is to be done for every man. As for women is not required, but still have to perform Dhuhr prayer.!
