Four rakaat sunnah before the Azaan of Jumuah

· 22 Safar 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person starts reading the four rakat sunnah before the jumaah khutba azan, and azan begins, what do i do? Make it 2 rakats, or read all four rakats? If I start my sunnah before the azan of the khutba, and know that I can finish the full four rakats before the azan ends, can I perform the four rakats?

Answer

It is better to shorten the qiraat and complete the salaah. You may read the four rakaats if you know that you will complete by the time of the azaan.
