Reciting Surat al-Jumu'ah in the Fajr prayer on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: The imam of the mosque next to us says that he consistently recites Surat al-Jumu'ah every Friday in the Fajr prayer, dividing it between the two rak'ahs.
Answer:
That is wrong. This is wrong and is not from the Sunnah. The Sunnah is that one recites in Fajr Surat al-Mu'minun and "Has there not come upon man" in the second rak'ah. If he wants to follow the Sunnah, he does this. As for reciting Surat al-Jumu'ah and wanting to make it grand and losing out on the reward, no, this is not the Sunnah. Yes. Surat al-Jumu'ah is recited in the Friday prayer. One recites in the Friday prayer either "Subhan" and "Al-Ghashiyah" or "Al-Jumu'ah" and "Al-Munafiqun"; this is in the Friday prayer. As for the Fajr of Friday, no. Yes.
