Is Jumuah salaah compulsory upon a musaafir

Q: I am required to travel to work over 150 km a day monday to friday for two months. I have no intention of staying at that location. Am I considered a musaafir and what is the ruling for jummah. The masjids are extremely far from work approximatly 35km as I am based at a construction site. If I am a musaafir, is it incorrect to read the full salaah?

A:

1. You will be a musaafir. You should perform qasr Salaah.

2. Jumuah is not compulsory upon a musaafir. You should perform your zuhr Salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
