:الجواب بسم الله ملهم الصواب

Jumu`ah Salaah has to compulsorily be performed. The decision taken by the UK Masaajid is Islaamically baseless and is a result of haraam cowardice caused by shaytaaniyat.

The Fuqahaa have stated that Jumu`ah is not compulsory upon a sick person; hence, those who have the coronavirus will not attend Jumu`ah. Rather, they will perform Zhuhr, at home or in the hospital – if they have been hospitalised – and they will do so individually, with no congregation, no Adhaan and no Iqaamah. Each sick person will perform Zhuhr individually.However, to claim that Jumu`ah itself must be cancelled is baseless and satanic, and all will be sinful for abandoning Jumu`ah.

The “Ulamaa” of the UK have become notorious for their cowardice. Because they lack the fear of Allaah Ta`aalaa, they fear everyone and everything else. Shaytaan toys with them and leads them along wherever he wills. They are among his agents which he uses to execute his plots.

Shaytaan is simply working on the cowardice of the Muslims with regards to the coronavirus in order to them have cancel Jumu`ah, the two Eids, the five Fardh Salaah, Hajj and `Umrah.

The Muslims and so-called Ulamaa remain blind to how easily they are ensnared in every trap and talbees of Shaytaan.

والله تعالى أعلم وعلمه أتم وأحكم
