Is there a sunnah (recommended practice) before the Friday prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Regarding the sunnah of Friday and the pre-Friday sunnah prayer, is it established in the Sunnah or is it a bid'ah (religious innovation)? And how much do we pray before Friday to be rewarded?
Answer:
The Friday prayer has no rawatib (regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones) before it. However, one should pray whatever is easy for him when he enters the mosque; at the very least, he should pray the greeting of the mosque, then sit and wait for the Friday prayer. If he prays more until the imam arrives, that is better. Yes.
