Question Summary:
Jumma Khutba and Salah before Zawal

Question Detail:

Is khutbah and jumah prayer valid if khutbah starts 30 minutes before the time of zuhr start?

Answer :

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The time for Jumu‘ah Salāh is the same as that of Dhuhr Salāh, i.e starting after zawāl.[1]
If the arabic khutbah is given before the zawāl, then the Jumu‘ah Salāh will not be valid. If one is facing such a difficulty then we advise that they discuss the issue with the Imam of the masjid to delay the khutbah until after the zawāl.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

 DARUL IFTAA BUILDING PROJECT
Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
 
 
We make Du’aa you are well. The Darul Iftaa was established in the year 2011. The fundamental objective of the Darul Iftaa is to train Ulama from various parts of the world to become Muftis. In this world of scientific calculations and technological advancements, economic confusion and political disarray, a Mufti is trained to understand and analyze current situations and provide leadership for the Ummah. There is a vacuum  of competent Muftis in various parts of the world. The Ummah lacks leadership. There are currently twelve students who are studying at the Darul Iftaa. They are from United States of America, United Kingdom, Mozambique, Jamaica, Zambia, Canada and South Africa. There are many Ulama from many parts of the world who have applied to study the Iftaa course. They could not be accommodated due to lack of adequate facilities. The Darul Iftaa has therefore embarked on an expansion project.
The Darul Iftaa requests your generous contributions for the expansion project. The building project has already begun and is expected to be completed within the next three months. This is indeed a great opportunity for you to earn Sawab e Jariyah in the Aakhirah. This is a tree with many branches bearing sweet fruits for your Aakhirah. Insha’Allah. The Darul Iftaa banking details are as follows:
Bank:              FNB Bank
Account#:     62347912778
Branch:           221126
 
(The Darul Iftaa is registered and has the following PBO exemption number: 930039227 – 3 May 2012)
JazakAllah.
