The Ruling on Delaying the Two Rak'ahs of the Sunnah Until Entering the Mosque on Friday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person entered the mosque on Friday during the Friday sermon, sat down, then stood up between the two sermons and prayed two rak'ahs. What is the ruling on this action?

Answer:
This is contrary to the Sunnah. The Sunnah is that one prays the two rak'ahs immediately. When one enters the mosque, he prays the two rak'ahs and then sits to listen to the sermon. A man entered while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon; they said it was Sulaik al-Ghatafani. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon, so he sat down. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Have you prayed two rak'ahs?" He said: "No." He said: "Stand up and pray two rak'ahs." Yes.
