Please advise if it is permissible to perform the 6 rakaats sunnat for Jummah before the Khutbah as time is insufficient as I have to get back to work

Answer

The Sunnats after Jummu'ah must be performed after Jummu'ah Salaat. They cannot be performed before Jummu'ah Salaat.

There are two opinions regarding the number of Rakaats of Sunnah after Jummu 'ah - six (four and two) and four only. Ideally, a person should perform six Rakaats. If he is under time constraint, he may suffice by performing four Rakaats only.

Which sunnah salaah are emphasised (muakkadah)?

“Sunnah Salaah should not be unduly missed during a journey. However, if the Musaafir is in a hurry then, apart from the Sunnah of Fajr, it will be permissible for him to omit the other Sunnah Salaahs.”
