The ruling on voluntary prayer before the Friday preacher enters

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In another question, another listener asks: What is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding voluntary prayer before the Friday preacher enters?

Answer:
What is reported is that
Whoever comes for the Jumuaمن جاء إلى الجمعة
Sahih al-Bukhari 919
is early. He is given the choice: if he wishes, he may perform the greeting of the mosque and sit waiting, or he may continue praying until the imam arrives for the Friday prayer. This is better: that he continues praying until the imam arrives. If he prays the greeting of the mosque and sits waiting for the prayer, there is no harm in that. Yes.
