The Ruling on Voluntary Prayer on Friday Before the Imam Enters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: There are those who stand to pray on Friday before the imam enters for the sermon, in order to perform voluntary prayer.
The Shaykh:
There are.
The questioner:
Those who stand up from their prayer on Friday before the imam enters for the sermon to perform voluntary prayer, and they are originally sitting in the mosque before this time, so what is the ruling on this action?
The Shaykh:
Yes, meaning it is recommended that one increases his prayer before the imam enters, performing as much voluntary prayer as he wishes. It is permissible for him to sit, then stand and pray, then sit again; there is no obstacle. Yes, this is purely voluntary; it is not a regular voluntary prayer specific to the people of Friday, but it is purely voluntary. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
