The ruling on the Friday prayer's preceding and following sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about the ruling on the Friday prayer's preceding and following sunnah?

Answer:
There is no sunnah before the Friday prayer. Rather, whoever comes to the mosque should pray whatever is easy for him. If he continues praying until the imam arrives, that is better. Otherwise, he prays two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque, then sits to remember Allah or recite the Qur'an while waiting for the prayer. The regular sunnah of the Friday prayer is after it, with a minimum of two rak'ahs and a maximum of four rak'ahs. Yes.
