AL-KAFI #2057: HUKUM MELAKUKAN SOLAT QADA’ SEMASA KHUTBAH JUMAAT
Is it permissible to perform make-up prayers during the Friday sermon, and what should be done if one cannot recall how many prayers were made up at that time?
Short answer
Making up obligatory prayers while the preacher is delivering the sermon is forbidden, and prayers performed at that time are invalid, even though making them up is required without delay.

Summary
Making up obligatory prayers while the preacher is delivering the sermon is forbidden, and prayers performed at that time are invalid, even though making them up is required without delay. Someone who enters during the sermon is only encouraged to perform two brief units of the greeting prayer for the mosque. If a person forgets how many prayers need to be made up, the stronger view in the Shafi'i school is that he should keep making them up until he is certain all have been completed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum melakukan qada' solat fardu ketika khatib sedang menyampaikan khutbah adalah haram dan solat yang dilakukan pada waktu tersebut tidak sah.
