Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding the number of the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) after the Friday prayer?
Answer:
The stronger position is that the minimum is two rak'ahs and the maximum is four rak'ahs with two closings of the prayer (taslim). This is the stronger position. Some scholars say it is six rak'ahs with three closings of the prayer, because a hadith to this effect has been reported. However, the majority and the preponderant view hold that it is as described: the minimum is two rak'ahs and the maximum is four rak'ahs. Some of them say that if he prays it in his house, it is two rak'ahs, and if he prays it in the mosque, it is four rak'ahs.
