Why do Shia not pray Jummah?

Published in Religious Practices 1 min read

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.
