that renders it null and void, in the point under discussion, there is none. (1)

Indeed, doing more than the Jumu‘ah Sal?t with no need is an act that contradicts Sunnah. Muslims should do their best to decrease the number of the congregations and try to unify them as much as they could so that they could reap its [i.e. the Jumu‘ah Sal?t’s] benefits and disunity may hopefully be eradicated - which was originally born out from the numerous congregations of the Jumu‘ah Sal?t that are done in numerous mosques that are so close together the thing which no real Faq?h could support. (2)

It is stated in “Al-Mubdi‘” that there is a non disagreement amongst scholars that doing more than one Jumu‘ah Sal?t or Eid Sal?t in the same area with no need to do so is prohibited. ‘At?’, however, held an opposite opinion. (3)

This very same view was held by As-Subk? who considered ‘doing numerous Jumu‘ah Sal?t -when there is no need-as detested act which is a well-established principle of Isl?m’. (4)

Having discussed this matter under the title “Khur?jul Jumu‘ati ‘An Mawd?‘ih? Bikathrati Ta‘addudih?”, Al-Q?sim? concluded that ‘Jumu‘ah Sal?t must not be established in small mosques -situated amongs peoples’ houses or in streets- nor in big ones which bigger ones could satisfy. The local people of every area -such as a village- must do the Jum‘ah Sal?t in the biggest mosque hence decreasing the number of congregations and displaying the function of mosques in its splendid manner moving away from [the hideous] multiplicity’.
