Reading Zuhr Salaah in a rural area

Q: My work includes a lot of site work, where in some cases may be in rural areas where there are no masjids present. Regarding this, in a case where I have to be on that site for multiple weeks, is it allowed to miss Jumuah and read the normal Zuhr Salaah for this reason.

A: If these areas are out of the town where jumuah is not compulsory, then it is permissible for you to perform Zuhr Salaah in such areas.

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