Allah chose Friday to be the best of days before Him and He singled it out for major events and great qualities. Jumu`ah prayer has a particular virtue and great qualities through the blessing of this great day.

There is nothing wrong with Muslims praying in a church if it is free of images and statues, whether that is the Jumu`ah prayer or any other prayer. It is disliked for Muslims to pray in a church if there are images or statues in it.

The most correct view is that of the majority of scholars, that the time for Jumu’ah is the same as the time for Zhuhr, and undoubtedly this is more on the safe side.
