17 Jan 2025

Question

What do the scholars of the Dīn and muftīs of the Sacred Law state regarding the following issue: Can a woman pray two rak’ahs on the day of Jum’ah during the time of Dhuhr, or will she have to pray a full four rak’ahs Dhuhr salāh? Questioner:  Kalsoom from UK

Answer

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم

الجواب بعون الملک الوھاب اللھم ھدایة الحق والصواب

Jum’ah salāh is not fard for a female, therefore she will pray Dhuhr salāh at home i.e. four rak’ah Sunnah, four rak’ah Fard, two Sunnah and two Nafl. Just as she prays Dhuhr salāh on the other days, likewise, she will also pray as so on the day of Friday too.
