The answer

Scholars have differed regarding the recitation of the Quran and remembrance (dhikr) before the for Fajr and Jumu'ah prayers. Some have considered it recommended, while others deem it an innovation (bid'ah) leading to detrimental effects, such as disturbing worshippers. They believe the ruler should prevent those who engage in it. As for the history of the loud recitation on Friday, it has not been precisely documented. However, it has been mentioned that the practice of sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, before or after the adhan for prayers, began during the time of Al-Nasir ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, and by his command.
