Is it necessary to perform the first sunnah of the Friday prayer as qada after the sermon and fard of the Friday prayer when we miss it?
Dear Brother / Sister,
A person who misses the first sunnah of the Friday prayer and the noon prayer can perform it as qada after the fard up to the time of the afternoon prayer.
If a person skips the first sunnah of the noon prayer in order to catch up with the congregation, he performs it after the fard and the last sunnah. When the first sunnah of the Friday prayer cannot be performed before the sermon, it is performed as qada after the fard of the Friday prayer. The first sunnah of the noon and Friday prayer that are left after performing the first two rak'ahs are performed as four rak'ahs as qada like that .
The sunnahs of the other daily prayers are not performed as qada when they are missed.
