The recommended practice before and after the Friday prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
السؤال:
The listener: Sami from Iraq sent a message asking and saying: Is there a recommended practice before the Friday prayer, or after it? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no fixed recommended practice before the Friday prayer. One should pray whatever Allah makes easy for him, whether two, four, or more than that, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “Whoever takes a bath on Friday, then goes to the mosque, and prays what is decreed for him, then listens when the imam comes out , and nothing is specified for him, he said: he prays what is decreed for him . This indicates that he prays what Allah has written for him, praying one salam, two salam, three, four, or more until the imam comes out. When the imam comes out, he leaves off the prayer after that and waits for the sermon until he listens to it. As for after the prayer, there is a fixed recommended practice: two or four. Four is more complete, and two are sufficient. If he prays four, that is better, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “Whoever is praying after the Friday prayer, let him pray four after it .” In another wording, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When you pray after the Friday prayer, pray four .” And he (peace and blessings be upon him), when he prayed the Friday prayer, would go to his house and pray two in his house, which indicates that two are sufficient and four are better. Yes.
