Subject: Ruling on Sunnah prayers before and after Jumuah
To: Shahnaj Mahbub <sha...@gmail.com>Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Dear All,
A question-answer on this issue:
Is there a Sunnah prayer before and after Jumu’ah?
When I go to the mosque on Friday the athaan is pronounced, then everyone prays 2 or 4 rakaat.Then the athan is again pronounced and immediately after it iqamah .Having prayed 2 Jum'ah rakaat people pray again 2 or 4 rakaat.Besides,the imaam when supplicating raises hands then wipes his face and everyone follows him .
Is it bid'ah? If so,what should I do(just look at others?)
Praise be to Allaah.
In the answer to question no. 14075 and 181043 we stated that there is no regular Sunnah prayer before Jumu‘ah prayer, but there is a regular Sunnah prayer after it.
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to come out of his house on the day of Jumu’ah (Friday) and climb up on his minbar. Then the muezzin would give the Adhaan, and when he finished, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would start his khutbah. If there were any Sunnah prayer to be done before Jumu’ah, he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have told them about it and directed them to do it after the Adhaan, and he would have done it himself. At the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) there was nothing apart from the Adhaan just before the khutbah.
Hence the majority of the imaams agreed that there is no sunnah to be done at a specific time before Jumu’ah with a specific number of rak’ahs, because that would have been reported from the words or actions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and nothing of that nature has been reported from him. This is the madhhab of Maalik, al-Shaafa’i and most of his companions, and is the well known view in the madhhab of Ahmad.
Al-‘Iraaqi said:
“I have not seen anything to indicate that the three imaams recommended praying Sunnah before it [Jumu’ah].”
The muhaddith al-Albaani commented:
For that reason this so-called Sunnah is not mentioned in Kitaab al-Umm by Imaam al-Shaafa’i, or in al-Masaa’il by Imaam Ahmad, or by any of the other early imaams, as far as I know.
Hence I say:
Those who pray this Sunnah are not following the Messenger or imitating any of the imaams; on the contrary, they are imitating the later scholars who are like them in that they are also imitators [of earlier scholars] rather than mujtahideen [scholars who investigate and form their own rulings]. I am amazed to see an imitator imitating another imitator.
(See al-Qawl al-Mubeen, 60, 374).
Moreover, between the first call of Jumu’ah prayer and the second call, there should be sufficient time for people to get ready to pray, not just the time it takes to pray two rak’ahs or thereabouts, as is done in some countries and some mosques.
With regard to making du’aa’ together in one voice behind the imaam after the prayer, Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen answered this question in al-Fataawaa, p. 368, where he said:
“This is one of the bid’ahs which was not reported from the Prophet or from his companions. What is prescribed in Islam is for people to remember Allaah Alone after the prayer, in accordance with the teachings of the Messenger of Allaah, and this should be done aloud, as reported in Saheeh al-Bukhaari from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both), who said: “People used to raise their voices in Dhikr [remembrance of Allaah] after finishing the prescribed prayer at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).”
With regard to the prayer after Jumu’ah, Ibn al-Qayyim said in al-Zaad (1/440):
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had prayed Jumu’ah, he would enter his house and pray two Rak’ahs of Sunnah, and he commanded those who had prayed it to pray four rak’ahs afterwards. Our shaykh, Abu’l-‘Abbaas Ibn Taymiyah said: if he prayed in the mosque, he would pray four, and if he prayed at home, he would pray two. I say: this is what is indicated by many ahaadeeth. Abu Dawood reported in his Sunan (1130) from Ibn ‘Umar that when he prayed in the mosque, he prayed four and when he prayed at home, he prayed two.
Shaykh Dr. Bandar ibn Naafi‘ al-‘Abdali, a member of faculty at the University of Qaseem, was asked:
What is the number of confirmed Sunnah rak‘ahs (Sunnah mu’akkadah) that we should pray on Friday? It is well known that the hadeeth mentions twelve rak‘ahs; how should that be done on Friday?
He (may Allah preserve him) replied:
There is no regular Sunnah prayer before Jumu‘ah prayer, but there is a regular Sunnah prayer after it, which is four rak‘ahs, because it is proven in Saheeh Muslim (881) that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When one of you prays Jumu‘ah, let him pray four (rak‘ahs) after it.” In as-Saheehayn it is narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used not to pray after Jumu‘ah until he left, then he would pray two rak‘ahs in his house.
Al-Bukhaari, 937; Muslim, 882
Some of the scholars reconcile between the two hadeeths by stating that if he prays in the mosque, he should pray four, and if he prays at home, he should pray two. This is the view of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him). Others said: rather he should pray six rak‘ahs, so as to reconcile between the two hadeeths. This was narrated from Imam Ahmad, and was also the view of some of the early generations, such as Sufyaan ath-Thawri, ‘Ata’ and Mujaahid. Yet others said: rather he should pray four rak‘ahs after Jumu‘ah in all cases, whether he prays in the mosque or at home, because this was clearly stated by the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). His praying two rak‘ahs was his practice, and his practice does not contradict his words, because this may be understood in several ways.
With regard to wiping the face after making du’aa’, this is not reported in any saheeh hadeeth; indeed, some of the scholars stated that it is bid’ah. See Mu’jam al-Bida’ (p. 227).
Do not do that which is bid’ah and do not take part in it; advise and enjoin people to follow the Sunnah; remind them and tell them about the Islamic ruling. We ask Allaah to guide us all to the Straight Path; may Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad ( Sallallahu alaihi wassalam).

Many Muslims are ready to adopt Islamic teachings, so long their lifestyles remain untouched and unaltered - are you one of them? Has "lifestyle" become an unnoticed god for you?? Please think about it carefully! Think of what Allah means by saying: "Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)?..." (25:43)
