THE 4 SCENARIOS YOU CAN FACE WHEN YOU COME FOR JUMU'AT (FRIDAY) CONGREGATION
These 4 scenarios would definitely be one you will face when you attend the Jumu'at congregation.
1. The 1st scenario is, you would meet the two Raka'ah with the Imam, in which case you have no problem. Meeting the two Raka'ah means, you joined the congregation early & you met the two Ruku' with the Imam.
2. The second scenario is when you joined the congregation a bit late, when the prayer has started & you only met one raka'ah (meaning you missed one Ruku' with the Imam & met only one). In this case, you are expected to complete the prayer by standing up & performing one raka'ah to complete the one you missed.
3. The third scenario is when you joined much later, & unfortunately have missed both Ruku'with the Imam, which means you didn't make any Raka'ah. You have met the congregation yes, but you didn't meet any raka'ah because the Imam has risen from the Ruku'of the second raka'ah because immediately the Imam has risen with saying "Sami'al-Lahu Liman hamidah", then raka'ah is gone. In this case, you will join the congregation to the end, but when the Imam has said "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah" to end the prayer, you will stand up & come with 4 raka'ah because yours now is Zuhr you are praying, not Jumu'at congregation again. Note that, one person can't do jumu'at prayer alone. It must be in congregation.
4. The last scenario is the most important one, a lot of people do not know. Listen carefully please. If you didn't meet any part of the congregation, because when you arrived the Mosque, the Imam has already said "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah", meaning the prayer has ended, and there are like 10 other people like you that came late, you won't make a congregation for Jumu'at again, neither will you make a congregation for Zuhr also. All of you will pray Zuhr but individually not in congregation.
This is the Fatwa of Abdullahi Ibn Mas'ud (RA), which the Salaf are on.
But if they decided to return home, all 10 of them to pray at home, in that case, they can pray in congregation and they will pray Zuhr not Jumu'at congregational prayer.
