One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

pray two rakahs?

Thanking you,

Answer:

 

Friday Jumaa 2 or 4 rakahs

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His  forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

If one attends the Friday Jumaa service, then the two rakah Jumaa prayer that he prays in congregation will be considered his noon prayers. There is no ‘zohr’ prayers for the one who prays the Jumaa prayers in congregation. One may pray any number of voluntary (nafl) prayers in two rakah combinations after the Jumaa prayers, if he wishes to do so.

 

But if one has missed his Jumma prayers in congregation for any reason, then he will have to perform four rakahs as ‘zohr’ prayers.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
