Various masaail of Jumuah

Q: How many sunnats are there after Jumuah Salaah? You wrote an answer with the Hadith "

عن سالم عن أبيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه كان يصلي بعد الجمعة ركعتين.(سنن الترمذي، الرقم: 521) 

So from the above Hadith "your reference" 2 Rakaat are to be offered.

Obviously there are more Ahadith which you have quoted to support 4 + 2 Rakaats. So it means 6 are not compulsory and 2 rakaat can be offered and that will conclude Juma prayers?

Requesting to clarify a fatwa regarding this matter as below:

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to offer two Rak'ahs after Jumu'ah in his house. May Allah help us all to do what pleases Him! [Fataawa Ibn Baaz, Vol. 12, pp 386-87] Reference for 2 Rakaat after Juma Prayers. كتاب الجمعة - (39)باب الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَقَبْلَهَا Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 937 In-book reference : Book 11, Hadith 61 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 2, Book 13, Hadith 59 (deprecated numbering scheme)

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَبَعْدَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَبَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَبَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَكَانَ لاَ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ‏.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray two rak`at before the Zuhr prayer and two rak`at after it. He also used to pray two rak`at after the Maghrib prayer in his house, and two rak`at after the `Isha' prayer. He never prayed after Jumua prayer till he departed (from the Mosque), and then he would pray two rak`at at home. Reference for 4 Rakaat after Juma Prayers. Reference : Sahih Muslim 881 a In-book reference : Book 7, Hadith 86 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 4, Hadith 1915 Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When any one of you observes the Jumu'a prayer (two obligatory rak'ahs in congregation), he should observe four (rak'ahs) afterwards.

وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي، هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيُصَلِّ بَعْدَهَا أَرْبَعًا ‏"‏

Then why you mentioned in your reply "A: There are 6 sunnats after the Jumuah salaah. One will first perform 4 sunnats and thereafter 2 sunnats. This is established from the Hadith." In fact, Ahadith you mentioned has also Hadith with 2 rakaat only!

My Question is is it obligatory to offer 6 Rakaat? If we consider the above Ahadith and many more....

Q: Does one need to perform Fard Zohr Salaah on Fridays before or after Jumah Salaah?

Q: After praying two rakat of Fard Jumah prayer, should one pray 4 rakat sunnat first then 2 rakat sunnat or 2 rakat sunnat first then 4 rakat sunnat? 

Q: How many rakats in jumma salaah?

Q: I try to follow Imam Abu Hanifa's (rahimahullah) madhab here in USA. Please provide reference for my heart to be satisfied. The following are my questions

1. How many Sunnah mu’akkadah are there in Salat ul Jummah? My understanding is 4 before the fard and 4 after the fard.

2. Can we pray Salat ul Jummah 4 Sunnah mu’akkadah as units of 2 rakat or do we have to pray all 4 rakat with one taslim in the end?

3. Do we have to recite Quran after surah Al fatiaah in 3rd and 4th rakat of 4 Sunnah mu’akkadah (if prayed with one taslim in the end)?

Q: Is it permissible to leave a small mosque and attend a big mosque on Friday while the small mosque is left empty. The small mosque has a capacity of 50-70 people.

Q: How many rakaats are sunnat after the Jumuah Salaah and are all sunnat-e-muakkadah or some ghair-muakkadah?

Q: A recent WhatsApp message circulated by a Mufti has created some confusion regarding the status of the Sunnah Rakats after the Jumuah Salaat. According to the message, the four rakats after Jumuah are Muakkadah whilst the other two are Ghair Muakkadah. The question is that we were always taught and considered that there are 6 Rakats (4+2) of Sunnah Muakkadah. What is the status of the Sunnah Salaats after Jumuah Salaat?

Q: I stay in Cape Town and most of the musjids are of the Shafi'ee Mazhab. For the Jumuah Salaah, they only perform two rakaats sunnah before the second Azaan and khutbah commences. Since I am of the Hanafi mazhab, I am required to perform four rakaats. Therefore I am not given enough time to complete it and generally I am in the third or fourth rakaat of my Sunnah Salaah when the Azaan or khutbah starts. Kindly advise me of the correct procedures to be followed if what I am currently doing is not acceptable.

Q: I was travelling in a foreign country and had to perform Jummuah Salaah at a Jamaat Khana on the premises of an "Islamic bank". Is my Salaah valid?
