Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

He says this is the recommended practice. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
This is a lie. He prays Friday with them, and it suffices for the midday prayer. He prays Friday with them to obtain the reward of Friday, and he does not intend it to be the midday prayer. Yes.
