Question
Someone is writing an exam on Friday during Jumuah time. Will it be permissible for him to miss Jumuah Salaat. He spoke to the department to allow him to write the paper earlier, but they refused. He says that if he fails this paper, the course has to be repeated. One Aalim told him that it is not permissible to miss Jumuah Salaat for the sake of the exam. However, a Mufti advised him to miss Jumuah, write the exam, and perform Zuhr afterwards. Was this Mufti's fatwa correct?
Answer
This 'mufti' is a moron. He is a jaahil devouring the carrion of the dunya, hence he paved the path of Jahannam for the person. It is ab-
solutely haraam to forgo Jumuah Salaat for the sake of scrap secular education. Allah Ta'ala has created us on earth precisely to weather the little storms in the conflict between truth and falsehood. This dunya is the arena for the conflict between Haqq and baatil, vice and virtue. Life on earth will pass in constant conflict. The Muslim is required to prepare, develop and perfect his Aakhirat. He has not been sent here to accomplish worldly perfection. The fact that the student sought a fatwa for a glaringly haraam act, testifies to the extreme deficiency of his Imaan, and the copro-fatwa of the mufti maajin testifies to his gross jahaalat and corrupt Imaan.
