Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on praying voluntary prayers on Friday immediately before the imam enters, for one who has been sitting for a long time?
Answer:
Praying before the Friday prayer is absolute; one prays whatever is easy for him of the prayers. As for riding [to the mosque] regularly just before the imam enters, standing up, and praying, there is no basis for this. However, praying whenever he desires, without a fixed schedule or regularity at a specific time, is permissible. Yes.
