Designating the muezzin on Friday to recite specific verses is an innovation (bid'ah) for which there is no evidence. Seeking refuge (isti'adha) before reciting the Qur’an is recommended, not obligatory. As for reciting the Qur’an before the Friday , there is a difference of opinion among scholars, oscillating between it being recommended and an innovation.
