The pre-Friday sunnah and the greeting of the mosque

Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, is there a pre-Friday sunnah? When is the greeting of the mosque prayed? And if a Muslim, whether a man or a woman, arrives early at the mosque and there is no sunnah, what does he pray after the adhan?

Answer:
The Friday prayer has no rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) before it, so the Muslim prays whatever voluntary prayers are easy for him. If he arrives early, he prays the greeting of the mosque, which is two rak'ahs. If he wishes, he may sit to recite the Qur'an and engage in dhikr (remembrance of Allah); if he wishes, he may continue praying. It is better if he keeps praying until the imam arrives while he is still praying voluntary prayers. Otherwise, he prays whatever is easy for him and then sits waiting for the imam to arrive. Yes. May Allah reward you with good. From Wadi al-Dawasir. The Friday prayer has a rawatib (regular voluntary prayer) after it, the minimum of which is two rak'ahs and the maximum is four rak'ahs with two taslims (closing salams). So the rawatib (regular voluntary prayer) of the Friday prayer after it is a minimum of two rak'ahs and a complete four rak'ahs with two taslims (closing salams).
