Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The Friday prayer consists of two Rak'ats, during which the Imam recites aloud. It must be preceded by two sermons. It is not permissible to make it more or less than two Rak'ats. Whoever does so intentionally, their prayer is invalid.
