Dought & clear, - Holding two jumu'ahprayersin one place

Can we organize two Friday prayers!? We do not have a mosque until
now inside the campus--we ask you fordoa'a... May Allaah help us to
gain a permanent room. Due to different schedules of the university,
students can not attend Friday Prayer which is scheduled at 1:00 p.m.
Currently new Muslim brothers are asking if we can hold a second
Friday arrangement on campus. Is it correct to host two Friday prayers
in the same campus or same place!?
I personally am afraid [the reality is that it is]madhhabexcuses, and
different groups favour one time to another.I urge you to answer this
question fast
may Allaah reward you.
All Praise be to Allaah.
After discussing the question you raised with the learned sheikh
Abdul-Aziz bin Abdullaah bin Baz, he has indicated that Islamic
shari'ah does not legislate holding two jumu'ah prayers in one place.
You should choose the most convenient time--and its timing extends
until the 'asr prayer--and urge and enjoin all the Muslims to attend.
Note that it is mandatory to stop all work (including attending
classes) for the jumu'ah prayer. Whoever misses it would pray the
dhuhr prayer.
May Allaah grant you all success in obeying Him and pleasing Him and
may He ease your affairs wherever you may be.
