The Number Of Rakat In Jumah
Prayer For Men And Women
Q. "How many
Rakat are sunnah muakkadah in jumah prayer? Is ther any difference between
men and women in this respect? "
A."It is obligatory for men to perform jumah prayer with jamaah
the number of obligatory (Fard) salah of jumah is only two Rakat and six
are to be performed after the congregational prayer is over .
As for women, the jumah prayer is not obligatory on them. They should
offer their salah in their homes individually and should offer the normal
Zuhr prayer instead of jumah The number of Rakat for them is the same
as they perform at the time of zuhr, every day that is the four obligatory
rakat and the six rakat as sunnah muakkadah four of which are to be performed
before the Fard salah and two of them after it
The same number of rakat will be applicable to a man who has missed the
jumah prayer in congregation and has no hope of getting the jamaah any
where in the city In this case he too has to offer the zuhr prayer instead
of jumah.
