The ruling on a woman praying the voluntary prayer before the midday prayer on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the midday prayer on Friday, for a woman who is accustomed to praying four rak'ahs before the midday prayer, does she also pray them on Friday?
Answer: Yes, she prays whatever she wishes; she may pray four, eight, or more than that. There is no fixed limit for her, neither on Friday nor on any other day. The man is the same; he prays what Allah has allotted for him: two rak'ahs, or four rak'ahs, or six rak'ahs, or eight rak'ahs, or more.
However, it is better to conclude the prayer after every two rak'ahs, and likewise the woman should conclude after every two rak'ahs; this is the best. This is based on what was narrated by the five—namely, the authors of the Sunan and Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on them)—from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:Sunan Abi Dawud 1295Sahih (Al-Albani) This is the best. The minimum is two rak'ahs of the Duha prayer; this is the best. The minimum of what is prescribed is two rak'ahs, which one prays in the Duha, whether on Friday or on any other day. Yes.
