Multiple Friday (Jumuah) Prayers in One Mosque or Location

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Can a masjid have two jummahs? the congregation is very big, and the masjid can not accomadate everyone. is it permissible to give the khutbah twice and preform the prayer twice in the same masjid? Alhumdulilah, there is even a necessity to make an additional jummah, so would a third jummah be permissible in the same masjid?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah

I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits

Yes, this is permitted, according to leading contemporary Hanafi schools. The basis of this is that it is in itself permitted to have multiple Friday prayers in one city, in the Hanafi school. [ Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar ] Then if there is need or genuine benefit in these multiple prayers being in the same location, this too would be permitted.

And Allah alone gives success.
