Jumaah salaat before time for Zuhr starts

· 20 Jumada I 1422 AH1 min readFatwa 3469English

Question

The Muslim poulation in our town is increasing rapidly. The current masjid is very small. So, the management conducts 3 Jumaah salaats (12.15pm, 1.15pm, 2.15pm). The 12.15pm (Khutbaah followed by salaat) finishes before 1 pm. The time for Zohr salaat in our town starts only at 1.21 pm and Zawaal time is 1.15 pm. Is the 12.15 pm & 1.15 pm Jumaah salaat valid?

Answer

The commencing time for Jummu'ah Salaat is the same as Dhuhr Salaat, that is after Zawaal. It is incorrect to perform Jummu'ah Salaat before Zawaal at 1:21 pm.

When do Fajr and Esha times start and end?

“According to the Mufta-Bihi view that is practiced upon in the Hanafi Madhab, when the Shafi’ee Asr time sets in, the time of Zuhr is still remaining; therefore in principle yes, the Zuhr Salaah will be valid if a Hanafi delays…”
