Q: I heard that when the Azaan goes for Jumuah Salaah, then it is not permissible to do anything but proceed for jumuah or make wudhu or fardh ghusl.
Is it permissible to go for a sunnat ghusl after the Azaan starts? Will it depend on whether one is smelling or not?
Q: Is it sunnah to recite Surah Jumuah on Fridays? Should we avoid it completely?
Q: Is it sunnah to perform ghusl on Friday for women as well (women not going to go to the Friday prayer)?
If it is not, then does it make a difference whether a women does ghusl on Friday or not? Some people are afraid that if women stop doing ghusl on that day, then the tradition of doing so will eventually come to a halt.
Q:
1. On the day of jumuah, after the first azan, can I still have a bath and thereafter proceed to the masjid? Or should I just suffice on wudhu?
2. Which azan should I consider, the azan of my masjid which is a little later, or the azan of the jami masjid of my area which is earlier?
Q: I have been reading Surah Kahaf on the eve of Friday (ie. before the time of Fajr). However I have been informed that Surah Kahaf should be read after sunrise on a Friday. Is this correct and is there any Hadith to substantiate this?
Q: I wanted to ask regarding a woman having a bath on Friday but not attending the Jumuah Salaah. As far as I know the Friday bath is mustahab for those attending Jumuah Salaah only, but it's commonly thought that women who pray at home should still have a bath on Fridays as it is regarded as a Sunnah. Is this true? Please could you let me know the exact ruling for women.
