The Rawatib Before and After the Friday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Does the Friday prayer have a rawatib (regular voluntary prayer) before it or a rawatib after it?
Answer:
It has a rawatib after it, but it does not have a rawatib before it. However, if one comes before the prayer, he prays whatever is easy for him until the imam arrives and he listens to the khutbah (sermon). If he prays two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque and then sits, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
