Q 5: Which things, acts are "Mustahab" [Commendable] in sermon?
Answer:
It is Mustahab (commendable) that “Khateeb” should recite second sermon in lower voice than the first and mention of “Khulfa-e-Raashideen” and respected family/paternal uncles of the Holy Prophet, Hazrat Hamzah and Hazrat Abbas ( Allaah/ Allah] is well pleased with them) be made.
Q 8: What time should the second "Azaan" of Jum'ah be uttered?
Answer: After the Khateeb has sat on the pulpit, call to prayer should be made again i.e. second Azaan be uttered before him.
The second Azaan should also be called aloud so that those who could not hear the first call to prayer may hear it and come to mosque. Khutbah should immediately be followed by Iqaamah. It is Makrooh to talk about worldly matters between Khutbah and Iqaamah.
Q 9: What should believers do after the first Azaan of Jum'ah?
Answer: Sale and shopping become unlawful after the first Azaan is made which include all worldly affairs and business preventing believers from Jumah prayer. All these things must be abandoned immediately after the first call to prayer is uttered and preparation for the prayer be made. Sale or shopping done even on way to mosque is unlawful what to talk of doing such things in mosque which is greatly sinful.
It is Mustahab to go to mosque before time, apply "Miswaak" (tooth stick) to the teeth, put on clean clothes, apply oil and Ittar fragrance and to sit in the first row. To take bath is a Sunnat.
Q10: How many conditions are there for Jumu'ah's being “Waajib”
Answer: There are eleven conditions for the essentiality of Jum'ah. Absence of even a single condition will obviate the obligation. However, prayer will be accomplished if offered.
(1) Believer must be resident,
(2) Healthy; Jum'ah prayer is not obligatory upon such a sick who cannot go to mosque or his condition further worsens or if he is certain that it will delay recovery,
(3) Free,
(4) Male,
(5) Mature,
(6) Sane. Maturity and sanity are not conditional for only Jum'ah but also for every kind of worship,
(7) Having eye-sight. Jum'ah prayer is not obligatory on blind. But it is obligatory upon that blind who is present in mosque having ablution at the time of Azaan.
(8) One who is able to walk. Jum'ah is not obligatory upon handicapped,
(9) Not to be prisoner,
(10) Be free from fear of ruler or thief or any tyrant and
(11) It is not raining or hailing or there is wind or cold to such an extent that it may harm.
