I pray jumuah at a masjid which literally gives about 3 minutes between the 2 azaans to pray the 4 sunnahs. The azaan is done at the beginning time and thereafter when I start praying sunnah I have completed 3 rakahs and the azaan starts and I finished my salah just before the imam starts the khutbah i.e. A matter of seconds. Many times I have to rush my 4 sunnah. Should I be more concerned about the 4 sunnah or getting the starting of the khutbah? I am not looking for opinions but only what scholars have said.

Subhanallah I face the EXACT SAME situation as you every week. After a long time, I have settled upon postponing the 4 qabliyyah (pre-fardh) sunnah muakkadah to post-jumuah. I have discussed with a local deobandi molvi, and also those Alims who come from India, they've agreed its probably the better thing to do.

The key issue is salat with khusu', we dont want to just get over and done with salat like a sprinting horse, 4 rakaats of sunnah muakkadah properly prayed takes minimum 6 min, usually ard 8 and if one follows the complete sunnah at every step about 10+ mins since we must recite Fatiha + extra Surah in every rakaat. Its impossible to squeeze what should take 10 mins into 3 mins, which is why i feel its better, wallahu 'alam.
