Jumu'ah . Salawat

Is it permissible to recite Durood when Prophet Muhammad's (saws) name is mentioned during the Friday Khutbah, considering the instruction by some Sunni scholars not to say it out loud or even whisper it, but only recite it silently in our hearts?

Reciting Durood (Salawaat) is always highly recommended whenever the Prophet (SAWA) is mentioned. It is not enough to remember it in your heart, but we need to recite it. If the situation does not allow to say it loudly,then whisper it.

Salah (Prayers) . Jumu'ah . Qadha . Dhuhr

I prayed Friday prayers where there are more than one Friday prayers within one Farsakh because I did not know about the ruling that there has to be minimum distance. Do I need to perform Qada Zuhr for those Friday prayers?

If you performed Friday Prayer with the valid Friday Prayer that started their Takbiratul Ehraam before other Friday prayers in the radius of one Farrakhan, then your prayer is valid. If you started Takbiratul Ehraam after any other valid Friday Prayer then you need to perform Dhuhr or it's Qadha if it's time has gone.

Sunni . Jumu'ah . Salah (Prayers) . Scholars

Is it permissible to perform Friday prayer behind a Sunni scholar? If so, what considerations should be taken into account?

Praying with Muslims from other sects apart from the followers of Ahlul Bayt (AS) is allowed and recommended. Friday prayer leader has conditions including being a pious follower of Ahlul Bayt (AS). You can pray behind non Shia Shaikh and you get the reward of praying with other Muslims, but it will not be a valid Friday prayer, and you must perform your own Dhuhr prayer either before or after.

Fajr . Ghusl . Salah (Prayers) . Jumu'ah . Qadha . Wudu (Ablution)

If Fajr Namaz is missed on a Friday, can we offer its Qaza after doing the Ghusl of Juma or do we need to perform Wuzu for it?

We must try our best to perform every Prayer within its time and never miss any Prayer as much as we can. If God firbid, Fajr Namaz is missed, we must perform its Qaza as soon as we can. There is no condition to perform Ghusl of Jum’a before performing the Qaza although Ghusl Jum’a is very great recommended Ghusl, but you can perform the Qaza of Fajr with Wudhu only or after Ghusl Jum’a if you wish but Ghusl Jum’a is not obligatory nor a condition for Qaza Namaz.

Jumu'ah

Is saying Jummah Mubarak allowed or an innovation? Is there any reference to support it?

Friday is the best day in the whole week and we have authentic Hadeeth Ahlul Bayt (AS) that Friday is more important than Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. Wahabis are against saying Jumma Mubarak because they went very far away from Ahlul Bayt.

'Saying Jumma Mubarakah is good just like saying Eid Mubarak in Eid Al-Fitr or Eid Al-Adha.
