Joining Jumu`ah Prayer


628

Q 1: If I join the second Rak`ah (unit of Prayer) of the Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer, what should I do?


A: You should offer the second Rak`ah, and this will be counted as the Jumu`ah Prayer, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated, Whoever catches a Rak`ah of the Jumu`ah Prayer has offered the Salah (Prayer). Related by Muslim in his Sahih (authentic) Book of Hadith. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also stated, He who catches a Rak`ah of the Jumu`ah Prayer should offer another one. By doing so, he will complete his Salah. Narrated by Al-Nasa'y, Ibn Majah and Al-Daraqutny in the Hadith reported from Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) with an authentic Isnad (chain of narrators).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
