Is there any Sunnah prayer before or after Jumu'ah?
Praise be to Allaah. There is no regular Sunnah prayer before Jumu'ah
according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, but it
prescribed for the Muslim, when he comes to the mosque, to pray
whateverAllaah enables him to pray, saying salaam after each two
rak'ahs, becausethe Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: "The prayers of the night and the day [i.e., other than the
obligatory prayers] are two by two." (Narrated by Imaam Ahmad and the
authors ofSunan with a hasan isnaad; the original is to be found in
al-Saheeh without any mention of the day.)
And many saheeh reports indicate that what is prescribed for the
Muslim when he comes to the mosque on Friday is to pray whatever
Allaah wills he should pray before the imaam comes out. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not specify whether it
should be two or four or more. All of thatis good, but the minimumis
two rak'ahs to "greet the mosque."
With regard to after Jumu'ah, there is a regularSunnah prayer, the
minimum of which is two rak'ahs and the maximumis four, because the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,
"Whoeveramong you prays after Jumu'ah, let him pray four(rak'ahs)"
(narrated by Muslim, al-Jumu'ah, 8881).And he (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) used to pray two rak'ahs after Jumu'ah in his
house. May Allaah help us all to do that which pleases Him.
