Normally, the Friday prayer is performed once in a mosque, and it is essential that all Muslims in the area attend this prayer. However, due to reasons such as limited capacity of the mosque or work schedules, it is considered permissible to hold Friday prayer multiple times in the same mosque. According to the Hanafi school, the same imam cannot lead the prayer twice, but other schools of thought offer flexibility in this regard. In such cases, it is recommended to have different imams lead the prayers, and worshippers are encouraged to follow the mosque’s practices.
Mosque committees should be careful to prevent doubts or confusion among followers of different schools of thought by having different imams lead the prayers, ensuring that everyone can benefit from the unifying aspect of Friday prayer.
