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

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.

Wassalam.

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?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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.

Is saying Jummah Mubarak allowed or an innovation? Is there any reference to support it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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.

Wassalam.
