Description from the publisher:

Can a woman lead in Jumu’a?
What are the obligatory and Sunna requirements of the Jumu’a sermon? Can the sermon be delivered in a language other than Arabic?
Can Jumu’a be held before noon?
Is the first call [adhan] for Jumu’a a bida’a?
Questions such as these have often been the cause of much controversy and confusion within the Muslim community.

This book addresses these issues in a simple and concise format which is both easy to understand and thoroughly referenced so as to provide a comprehensive picture in light of the Qur’an and Sunna.

The author covers a wide array of topics within this book, making it useful for the imam and the congregation.

This book is a complete handbook necessary for any Muslim who wishes to understand the place of Jumu’a within Islam.
