Should he pray four rak’ahs before and after Jumu’ah as he does with Zuhr prayer?

Question

Praise be to Allah.

Firstly:

Yes, it is
proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
that he said: “Whoever regularly prays four rak’ahs before Zuhr and four
after it will be forbidden to Hell.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (1269) and
al-Tirmidhi (428); classed as saheeh by al-Nawawi in al-Majmoo’ (4/7)
and al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Secondly:

There is no
Sunnah prayer before Jumu’ah prayer, because that is not proven from the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and there is no
report from the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) that suggests
that there is any specific regular Sunnah prayer before Jumu’ah. Rather it
was narrated that naafil prayers in general may be offered, without
specifying any number.

This has been
discussed in the answer to question no. 6653 and
14075.

It is not
valid to draw an analogy between Jumu’ah and Zuhr prayer and say that it is
mustahabb to offer the regular Sunnah prayer before Jumu’ah as it is
mustahabb to do so before Zuhr, because Jumu’ah prayer is different from
Zuhr prayer in many ways, and because this analogy is contrary to the
apparent Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him), which is that he did not offer any regular Sunnah prayer before
Jumu’ah. The best guidance is the guidance of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). If the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) had offered any prayer before Jumu’ah, that would
have been narrated to us. As there is no such narration, we know that he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not offer any regular
Sunnah prayer before Jumu’ah.

With regard to
praying after Jumu’ah, a number of ahaadeeth concerning that have been
narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
We have discussed that in the answer to question no.

And Allaah
knows best.
