Missing Jummah Due to Work Training – Seeking Advice

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I’ve just started a new job, and while they promised me Fridays off, the 7-week training is Monday to Friday. Tomorrow’s my first Friday of training, and honestly, I don’t think I can make it to jummah. Maybe I could squeeze it during lunch break, but I’d have to rush and probably arrive late, during or after the prayer. Would it be acceptable to miss jummah in this situation and just pray Dhuhr with 4 rakah at work? I’m feeling a bit conflicted and would appreciate your thoughts.

Akhi, do your best to attend. Talk to your trainer, maybe they'll understand. But if it's impossible, scholars say mandatory work training is a valid excuse. Pray Dhuhr and try to make it next week.

Tough spot. Some say you can miss it for a valid reason like this. I'd say rush during lunch, even if you're late, and if you miss it, pray Dhuhr. Don't stress too much, keep your niyyah right.
