Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: What is the regular voluntary prayer (sunnah) for the Friday prayer, before and after it?
The Shaykh:
There is no regular voluntary prayer before the Friday prayer; the Friday prayer has no sunnah before it. However, if one comes to the mosque, he prays as a greeting to the mosque and as general voluntary prayers. As for after the Friday prayer, the regular voluntary prayer is prescribed, with a minimum of two rak'ahs and a maximum of four rak'ahs. It is prescribed and recommended. The minimum for the regular voluntary prayer after Friday is two rak'ahs, and the maximum is four rak'ahs with two taslims.
The questioner:
He asks: Do I pray the one after Friday in the mosque, or do I pray in the mosque and in the house?
The Shaykh:
This is permissible. It is permissible for you to pray it in the mosque, and it is permissible for you to pray it in the house. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray it in the house. If you pray it in the mosque, pray four rak'ahs with two taslims, and if you pray it in the house, pray only two rak'ahs. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
