The ruling on the claim that ten rak'ahs are obligatory before and after the Friday prayer

Question:
A listener sent a long message containing a number of questions, one of which reads: Some people pray ten rak'ahs before the Friday prayer and ten rak'ahs after the Friday prayer, and they say that this is obligatory. Is what they said correct?

Answer:
It is not correct. Nothing is obligatory before it, and nothing is obligatory after it. Nothing is obligatory before it or after it. However, it is recommended for the believer, when he comes to the mosque on Friday, to pray what Allah has written for him before the imam, before the imam arrives. He may pray two, four, six, eight, or more, concluding the prayer after every two. This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) in the authentic hadiths: to the end. He did not specify a number of prayers, but rather he said: So he prays what Allah makes easy for him. When he arrives at the mosque, he prays two as the greeting of the mosque, or he adds and prays two, three, or four salamats, or more or less; there is no harm in that. The minimum is even one salam, the least of which is one salam as the greeting of the mosque. As for something being obligatory for him, nothing is obligatory for him, neither ten nor anything else.
And likewise after it, ten or anything else is not obligatory for him. But it is recommended for him to pray four after it; this is the best. This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): And in the other wording: This is the best, and it is not obligatory, but rather a recommended practice. Yes.
