Commenting on Al-Q?sim?’s statements, Al-’Alb?n? said: ‘This is indeed the truth which only those who have deep understanding of Sunnah and through reflection on the manner in which Jumu‘ah Sal?t used to be performed during the prophet’s ( - ) time could realize and perceive’. (1)
To conclude, the had?th -on which those who consider doing Thuhr Sal?t after Jumu‘ah Sal?t as permissible depend- is a false one. They even set conditions for which they have no proof.
O Muslims, never exceed the limits of your religion. Indeed, you have that which is satisfactory in the Qur’?n and Sunnah regarding the obligatory and optional acts.
Having heard the bedouin swore that he would not perform more than the five Salaw?t and the other obligatory articles ignoring none, the prophet ( - ) said: ‘He would indeed win if he is telling the truth’ and ‘he would be admitted to Paradise if he has told the truth’.
Let muslims perform their obligations, abandon the forbidden acts and perform N?filah. This would certainly consume their whole lives. (2)
[62] Mistakes done in the post-Jumu‘ah Sunnah Sal?t:
‘Umar Ibn ‘At?’ Ibn Abil Khuw?r said that N?fi‘ Ibn Jubair sent him to As-S?’ib -Namr’s nephew- asking him regarding an act which Mu‘?wiyah saw him [As-S?’ib] doing in the [Jumu‘ah] Sal?t. As-S?’ib said: ‘Yes, indeed. I performed the Jumu‘ah Sal?t in Al-Maqs?rah. (3) When the Im?m finished the Sal?t, I

(3) The Maqs?rah is the chamber built inside a mosque.
The apparent words of the had?th indicate the legality of performing Sal?t in the room built inside the mosque. This act was practiced by many of the Salaf such As: Al-Hasan, Al-Q?sim Ibn Muhammad, S?lim and many others. However, others considered it as detested such as Ibn ‘Umar, As-Sh?fi‘?, Ahmad and Ish?q. Ibn ‘Umar ( - رضي الله عنه -) used to get out of it when ‘the obligatory] Sal?t is due. Al-Q?d? said: ‘Some scholars held that if such a room is open for the public in which anyone could do Sal?t, then doing Jumu‘ah Sal?t in it is permissible and vice versa if it is only dedicated for a group of people. Then it is not considered a part of the mosque.
Accordingly, doing Sal?t in a mosque with two floors; one for men and the other for women, is permissible even if the latter could not see the Im?m nor the other Ma’m?m?n but could only hear the Im?m’s voice -through loudspeakers- since they are all in the same mosque. This is the soundest of all scholars’ opinions. However, opinions contrast strongly when the matter comes to those who do their Sal?t outside the mosque [in its court yard or the street close to it]. In such a case the Ma’m?m?n can neither see the Im?m nor the other Ma’m?m?n. May All?h ( - عز وجل -) guides us to that which is right.
