Question

With regards to the fatwa below, I had one correction. The questioner asked you if there is any ikhthilaaf in the masla regarding all 6 sunnats after jumuah being sunnate muakkadah or not.you answered him aying there is an ikthilaaf wheher 4 or 6 is sunnat.youdidnt answer his question correctly.there definitely an ikthilaaf in all 6 being sunnat e mukkadah or not which moulana should have told him.ulama like kabeeree,etc mention in their kitaabs that all 6 are sunnate muakkadah.if possible,please re-answer the question and send it out again and also mention that even though this is mufti kifaayathullah's qaul,many other ulama say that all 6 are sunnate muakkadah,therefore the most precautionary measure is that a person regards all 6 as sunnate muakkadah. Awaiting your response.

Wassalaam.

Question

In Fatwa # 16633 (on the askimam.org website) it is stated that "After the jummah salat, one will observe four rakats "sunnah muakada", followed by two rakats sunnah "ghayr muakada." So does this mean that if one were to leave out the two raka'ats sunnah then one will not be sinful since it is "ghayr muakada"? I was always taught that it is "sunnah muakada". Is there a difference of opinion regarding this?

Answer

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Ulama differ as regards to how many rakats should be performed after Jumma salah. Some ulama are of the opinion that four rakats of Salah should be performed after Jumma whilst others hold the view that six rakats be performed. Mufti Kifayatullah رحمه الله تعالى explains that praying four rakats are sunnah muakkadah and the two rakats are sunnah ghair muakkadah. It is advisable that one perform all six rakats.

بدائع الصنائع - (ج 1 / ص 638) دار الكتاب ديوبند

وأما السنة قبل الجمعة وبعدها فقد ذكر في الأصل وأربع قبل الجمعة وأربع بعدها وكذا ذكر الكرخي وذكر الطحاوي عن أبي يوسف أنه قال يصلي بعدها ستا وقيل هو مذهب علي رضي الله عنه وما ذكرنا أنه كان يصلي أربعا مذهب ابن مسعود وذكر محمد في كتاب الصوم أن المعتكف يمكث في المسجد الجامع مقدار ما يصلي أربع ركعات أو ست ركعات أما الأربع قبل الجمعة فلما روي عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يتطوع قبل الجمعة بأربع ركعات ولأن الجمعة نظير الظهر ثم التطوع قبل الظهر أربع ركعات كذا قبلها وأما بعد الجمعة فوجه قول أبي يوسف أن فيما قلنا جمعا بين قول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وبين فعله فإنه روي أنه أمر بالأربع بعد الجمعة وروي أنه صلى ركعتين بعد الجمعة فجمعنا بين قوله وفعله قال أبو يوسف ينبغي أن يصلي أربعا ثم ركعتين كذا روي عن علي رضي الله عنه كيلا يصير متطوعا بعد صلاة الفرض بمثلها وجه ظاهر الرواية ما روي عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال من كان مصليا بعد الجمعة فليصل أربعا وما روي من فعله صلى الله عليه وسلم فليس فيه ما يدل على المواظبة ونحن لا نمنع من يصلي بعدها كم شاء غير أنا نقول السنة بعدها أربع ركعات لا غير لما روينا
