The Prescribed Voluntary Prayers Before and After Friday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Mahir, has a set of questions. He asks: On Friday, does a person pray the four regular voluntary prayers before it, meaning the Zuhr prayer and the two rak'ahs after it? Or does he limit himself to two or four rak'ahs after Friday prayer, and leave the two regular voluntary prayers of Zuhr on Friday, unlike the other days?
Answer:
On Friday, one should pray before it whatever is easy: four, or if not, six, or if not, eight, or if not, ten, or if not, more. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify a number. He said:Sahih Muslim 857a.
As for after it, the Sunnah is to pray four rak'ahs with two taslims. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 881a meaning: with two taslims.
As for before it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Pray whatever is easy before it: two, or four with two taslims, or three with three taslims, or four with four taslims, or five with five taslims, or more. There is nothing limited, and praise be to Allah.
