Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is there a sunnah (recommended practice) for the Friday prayer?

Answer:
Yes, it has a sunnah (recommended practice) after it. The minimum is two rak'ahs and the maximum is six rak'ahs, with a taslim (closing salam) after every two rak'ahs. As for before it, it has no rawatib (regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones), but whoever comes to the mosque prays whatever is easy for him of prayers, or he sits and remembers Allah after performing the greeting of the mosque. He sits and remembers Allah or recites the Qur'an. And it is better for him to pray until the imam arrives. It is better for him to pray from the time he enters until the imam who delivers the khutbah (sermon) arrives. Yes.
