The Friday prayer has no regular voluntary prayer before it

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Is there a recommended practice before the Friday prayer?

Answer:
It has no regular voluntary prayer; the Friday prayer has no regular voluntary prayer before it. Rather, when one enters the mosque, he prays whatever voluntary prayers are easy for him. If he wishes, he may then sit and wait for the imam to enter, or if he wishes, he may continue the voluntary prayer until the imam enters, and this is better. As for the one who enters while the imam is delivering the sermon, he does not sit until he prays two rak'ahs. This is because a man entered while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing delivering the sermon, so he sat down. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Stand up and pray two rak'ahs."
