Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is there a rawatib before the midday prayer? Please inform us of this, and what is the ruling on going early for the Friday prayer?
The Shaykh:
Before the midday prayer, or before it?
The questioner:
Before it, before the Friday prayer.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the Friday prayer has no rawatib before it. Rather, one prays whatever is easy for him until the imam arrives, or he sits and recites the Qur'an, or he remembers Allah. As for the rawatib of the Friday prayer, it is after it, with a minimum of two rak'ahs and a maximum of four rak'ahs with two taslims. Yes.
