Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In one of the countries, there are mosques where the Friday prayer is held at the beginning of the time, after the sun passes its zenith, and other mosques where it is held before the 'Asr prayer. This is because Friday is a working day there, not a holiday, so they set two times to facilitate attendance and travel to the Friday prayer for everyone. Is this prescribed?

Answer:
In different mosques, there is no harm. But in one single mosque, no, this is not done. Some mosques pray earlier, and some pray later for the benefit of the people. There is no harm, as long as they are within the time.
