what’s the punishment for not praying sunnat-e-muaqidah? which sunnat of the Friday prayer are sunnat-e-muaqidah? What if you can’t pray because of class or work or in any case you only have enough time to pray the Fardh?…please explain in details jazakallah khairun
A person only becomes sinful when he deliberately leaves out the
Sunnat-e-Muakkadah continuously. If due to unavoidable circumstances he
omits them once in a while, then he will not be regarded as sinful. (Shaami
vol.2 pg.451; Multan). The four Sunnats before Jummu’ah Salaat and the four
and two Sunnats after the Jummu’ah Salaat are Sunnat-e-Muakkadah.
The person should first speak to his employer or teacher humbly appealing to
them to extend his leave time by at least ten minutes. He may suggest that
he is prepared to work overtime to cover the time lost. He should do all
that is in his power to be able to read the Sunan of Jummu’ah.
