Shia Muslims do pray Jummah. It is a mandatory prayer for all Muslim men, and Shia Muslims are no exception.
There is a common misconception that Shia Muslims do not pray Jummah, but this is incorrect. The reason for this misunderstanding might stem from the fact that:
- Shia Muslims often hold their Jummah prayers at different times than Sunni Muslims. This is due to differences in interpretations regarding the timing of the prayer.
- Some Shia Muslims may choose to pray Jummah in private settings. While public Jummah prayers are encouraged, there is no strict requirement for them to be held in a mosque or with a large congregation.
Therefore, it is essential to clarify that Shia Muslims indeed pray Jummah, and their practices might differ from Sunni Muslims in terms of timing and location.
