SUNNAH OF JUMUAH SALAT

BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM.
ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WRBTH, DEAR ILHAM FRIENDS,

1. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar RA related: " I offered along with Allah's Messenger SAWS two Rak'ah (sunnah prayer) after the Jumuah prayer." (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)

2. Abu Hurairah RA narrated that Allah's Messenger SAWS said: " If anyone of you offers the Friday prayer, he should offer four Rak'ah (sunnah) after it." (Muslim)

3. Ibn 'Umar RA related: " Allah's Messenger SAWS would not offer any salat (in the mosque) after the Friday (Jumuah) prayer till he returned to his house. He would then offer two Rak'ah there." (Muslim)

COMMENTARY: It can be assumed from the above different rulings regarding the sunnah prayers that they are all acceptable. However, many Ulama are of the opnion that if one is offering them at the mosque, then they should offer four Rak'ah and if offering at the home, then two Rak'ah are sufficient.

Ma'Salamah,
Sr. Tasneem
