The number of rak'ahs in the Sunnah of the Friday prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you: How many rak'ahs are in the Sunnah of the Friday prayer, before and after?
Answer:
There is no rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) before the Friday prayer. One should pray whatever is easy for him as the greeting of the mosque when he enters, and anything more than that is all good. However, the greeting of the mosque is strongly recommended as soon as one enters. If he wishes, he may add more and pray until the imam arrives, which is better. If he limits himself to the greeting of the mosque and sits to recite the Qur'an and remember Allah, there is nothing wrong with that. As for its rawatib, it is after the prayer, with a minimum of two rak'ahs and a maximum of six rak'ahs. Some scholars say that if he prays it in the mosque, two rak'ahs suffice, and if he prays it at home, he performs six rak'ahs with three taslims. Yes.
