The Masnoon Qiraa'ah for the Jumu'ah salaah

Q: Salaah-270: The Imaam in our Masjid recites the first Ruku of Surah Jumu'ah in the first Rakaah of the Jumu'ah salaah and then the second Ruku of the Surah in the second Rakaah. He says that this is the Sunnah method. Will the Sunnah Qiraa'ah be discharged in this manner?

Answer: It is Sunnah to recite Surah A'laa in the first Rakaah of the Jumu'ah salaah and then Surah Ghaashiya in the second Rakaah. It is also Sunnah to recite Surah Jumu'ah in the first Rakaah of the Jumu'ah salaah and then Surah Munaafiqoon in the second Rakaah. However, it is incorrect to regard the action of your Imaam as Sunnah when he recite the first Ruku of Surah Jumu'ah in the first Rakaah and then the second Ruku of the Surah in the second Rakaah. The Sunnah will also not be discharged by reciting the second Ruku of Surah Jumu'ah in the first Rakaah of the Jumu'ah salaah and then the second Ruku of Surah Munaafiqoon in the second Rakaah.
Zaadul Ma'aad (Vol.1 Pg.104) states, "It is neither Sunnah nor Mustahab to recite a portion of each of these Surahs in each Rakaah. This method that ignorant people have adopted and made a habit of contradicts the Sunnah." And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
