The Prophet’s Prayer After Jumu'ah: Four Rak'ahs in the Mosque and Two at Home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is there a report that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray four rak'ahs after the Jumu'ah prayer in the mosque, lengthening them, and then when he returned home, he would pray two rak'ahs?

Answer:
No. What is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is that he used to pray two rak'ahs after Jumu'ah in his home; he did not pray after Jumu'ah in the mosque. However, he said that the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) after Jumu'ah is four rak'ahs. The scholars said that whoever prays in the mosque prays four rak'ahs, and whoever prays in his home prays two rak'ahs, combining the hadiths.
