Can a person be excused if he does not pray Jumu'ah or pray in
congregation in the mosque, if there is turmoil in his country and he
fears for himself if he goes to the mosque, and is afraid that he may
be killed, imprisoned or beaten? As these reasons valid excuses for
him not praying Jumu'ah or offering prayers in congregation?.
Praise be to Allaah.
We ask Allaah to set the affairs of the Muslims straight, and keep us
and you away from places of turmoil and trials, and to unite them on
the truth, and grant them victory against their enemies, for He is
able to do that.
Praying in congregation in the mosque is obligatory for men who are
able to do that, and there is a great deal of evidence for that which
has been explained in the answers to questionsno. 120 and 8918 .
The obligation of performing prayers in congregation and Jumu'ah
prayers is dependent upon there being no danger to a person's life or
wealth orfamily, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"and [Allaah] has not laid upon you in religionany hardship"
[al-Hajj 22:78]
"Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things
difficult for you"
[al-Baqarah 2:185]
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Mughni (1/366):
The one who is afraid is excused for not praying in congregation or
praying Jumu'ah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: "Valid excuses are fear and sickness."
Fear is of three types: fear for oneself, fear for one's wealth or
property, and fear for one's family. End quote.
If a person fears that he may be killed or arrestedand imprisoned
unlawfully, then this is regarded as a valid excuse for his not
praying in congregation or praying Jumu'ah, and he may offer these
prayers in his house in order to protect himself.
But if he prays Jumu'ah in his house, then he should pray it as Zuhr
with four rak'ahs, not like Jumu'ah prayer.
And Allaah knows best.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
