The Pre-Friday Sunnah Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks about the pre-Friday sunnah prayer: what is its ruling, O Shaykh?

Answer:
The Friday prayer has no pre-prayer sunnah. Rather, a person volunteers whatever Allah makes easy for him. If he enters the mosque for the Friday prayer and there is time before the imam arrives, he prays whatever is easy for him without a specific limit. As for after the Friday prayer, it has a rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) of at least two rak'ahs and at most six rak'ahs, with a taslim after every two rak'ahs, or four rak'ahs with a taslim after every two rak'ahs. Yes.
