مَنْ تَرَكَ الْجُمُعَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ ضَرُورَةٍ، كُتِبَ مُنَافِقًا فِي كِتَابٍ لَا يُمْحَى، وَلَا يُبَدَّلُ
Translation: Whoever leaves Friday prayer without necessity is recorded as a hypocrite in a record that is neither erased nor changed.

تَرَكَ الْجُمُعَةَ means “left Friday prayer.” In مِنْ غَيْرِ ضَرُورَةٍ, مِنْ غَيْرِ means “without,” while ضَرُورَةٍ indicates necessity or a valid excuse. كُتِبَ مُنَافِقًا uses the passive كُتِبَ. In لَا يُمْحَى وَلَا يُبَدَّلُ, لَا negates two actions: “is neither erased nor changed.”
The report gives a severe warning about neglecting Friday prayer, but “without necessity” is essential to its meaning. Legal obligation and valid excuses require detailed jurisprudential study; one cannot label every absent individual a hypocrite on this basis.
