Fatwa #53613 May 2002South Africa

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.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
