The Prayer Before and After Jumu'ah and Its Intention

Question:
Correct and excellent. This questioner says: I see most people praying four rak'ahs before the Friday prayer. What is better to intend in these rak'ahs? Should one intend them as the greeting of the mosque, or should one intend them as the Dhuha prayer? What is prescribed and what is better in this situation?

Answer:
If one enters the mosque on Friday before the prayer, he prays the greeting of the mosque, two rak'ahs. Then, if he wishes, he adds whatever he wishes of prayers to it, whether he prays when the imam arrives, or whether he prays the greeting of the mosque or it is made easy for him to pray with it. And if one enters while the imam is making it easy (to pray), it is not permissible for him to sit until he prays two light rak'ahs. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded sitting when he is delivering the sermon. A man entered while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not yet delivered the sermon, then he sat. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Pray." So he prayed two rak'ahs. If one enters and sits before the sermon is delivered, he does not sit until he prays two rak'ahs, as in this hadith.
As for after Jumu'ah, the prescribed prayer is at least two rak'ahs and at most six rak'ahs. The minimum is two rak'ahs and the maximum is six rak'ahs with three taslims. This is the most that has been reported. And if one performs four rak'ahs with two taslims, there is no harm.
