Jumaah salaat before time for Zuhr starts

Fatwa 3469English
PrayerPrayer (Salaat)

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.
