Fatwa of the Eminent Scholar, Imam Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān (May Allah preserve him)
Question:
May Allah reward you with goodness and grant you well-being. A message has been received from one of our brothers among the listeners, who says:
“I missed the first Rak‘ah of the Jumu‘ah (Friday) prayer. I prayed the second Rak‘ah with the Imam, then stood up to complete the Rak‘ah that I had missed. Is my prayer valid, or what should I do?”

Answer:
Yes. Whoever catches one Rak‘ah of the Jumu‘ah prayer has indeed caught the prayer. He should add one more Rak‘ah to it, and his Jumu‘ah prayer will be complete.
However, if a person catches less than one Rak‘ah—for example, if he joins after the Imam has raised his head from the bowing of the second Rak‘ah — then he should join the congregation with the intention of Dhuhr. After the Imam finishes the prayer, he must stand and complete the Dhuhr prayer as four Rak‘ahs.

📖 الفتوى
فَتْوَى العلامةِ الإمام صالح بن فوزان الفوزان (حفظه الله)السُّؤَالُ: «جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ خَيْرًا وَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكُمْ. رِسَالَةٌ مِنْ أَحَدِ الْإِخْوَةِ المُسْتَمِعِينَ يَقُولُ: فَاتَتْنِي الرَّكْعَةُ الْأُولَى مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَصَلَّيْتُ الرَّكْعَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ وَقُمْتُ بِصَلَاةِ الرَّكْعَةِ الَّتِي فَاتَتْنِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَهَلْ صَلَاتِي صَحِيحَةٌ أَمْ مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ؟»
الْجَوَابُ: «نَعَمْ، مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا؛ فَإِنَّهُ يُضِيفُ إِلَيْهَا أُخْرَى وَتَتِمُّ لَهُ جُمُعَةً. أَمَّا مَنْ أَدْرَكَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ رَكْعَةٍ -بِأَنْ جَاءَ وَقَدْ رَفَعَ الْإِمَامُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ- فَإِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ مَعَهُ وَيَنْوِيهَا ظُهْرًا، فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ الْإِمَامُ فَإِنَّهُ يَقُومُ وَيَأْتِي بِصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ»
