The answer

Praying Dhuhr after Jumu'ah prayer is an innovation (bid'ah) and misguidance, because the fundamental principle is that Jumu'ah prayer is the only obligatory prayer on Friday for resident, settled, free men. The Prophet (peace be upon him), his Companions, and the righteous predecessors did not pray another obligatory prayer after Jumu'ah. This act is an innovation and should not be done under the pretext of precaution, because the fundamental principle is the validity of Jumu'ah prayer. It must be abandoned and cautioned against, and one should suffice with Jumu'ah prayer.
