Jumuah

Q: The first Adhaan for Jumuah Salaah in both the Haramain Sharifain is given well before Zawaal sets in. Can one perform the Four Sunnats of Jumuah after the first Adhaan is given i.e. before the time of Zawaal?

The second Adhaan is given exactly when the Dhuhr time sets in and the Khutbah commences immediately thereafter. There is no time to perform the sunnats after the second Adhaan as the khutbah commences immediately, and if one stands up to perform his sunnats, he will be performing his sunnats while the Khutbah is being delivered. Should one rather perform these four sunnats after completing the Jumuah Salaah?

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.

Q: I always wondered what is the significance of the imaam using a "stick" at the time of the jumuah khutbah?

Q: Is it sunnah to recite Surah Jumuah on Fridays? Should we avoid it completely?

Q:

1. Is it preferred for the muazzin to give the person giving the khutbah the stick?

2. Should the person giving khutbah look left and right while giving the khutbah?

Q: On Friday, when the imam comes out for the khutbah and the 2nd azaan is given in front of him, then should we read the dua after azaan verbally or should we read it in our heart since we have to adopt silence at that time?

Q: What is the ruling on greeting people every Friday with Jumuah Mubarak? Is it permissible?

I understand that it was not part of the sunnah of our Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and his companions never practised it. 

Q: If a couple of people are musaafirs in a city and decide to perform Zuhr Salaah in their hotel rather than go for jumuah, is it then:

(a) Best for them to pray zuhr salaah individually rather than making a jamaat OR

(b) Obligatory for them to pray zuhr salaah individually rather than making a jamaat OR

(c) Best for them to make a jamaat for zuhr salaah?

Q: What is the condition of a business that remains open and trading at the time of Jummah. All Muslim staff leave for Salaah but the doors remain open.

Q: Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions of 50 allowed inside and 100 outside for salaah, we have a jumuah inside for 50 and a separate jumuah outside for 100 with separate Imaam and separate congregation.

1. Is this allowed?

2. Do we need to complete the 1st jumuah inside before we start the outside jumuah?
