Dhuhr Prayer After Friday

Question
I live in China, and the people in my city pray the Friday prayer and then the Dhuhr prayer on Friday. This is how people have been praying for a long time. Is this practice correct?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This image is very common in the books of jurisprudence, and its reason is the fear of not meeting the conditions for the validity of Friday prayer, so they pray the Dhuhr as a precaution. Whoever does it is not prohibited from it, and whoever does not do it is not commanded to do so; because it is a matter of recommendation on the condition that it does not cause discord by doing it, and God knows best.
