Question

what's the punishment for not praying sunnat-e-muaqidah? which sunnat of the Friday prayer are sunnat-e-muaqidah? What if you can't pray because of class or work or in any case you only have enough time to pray the Fardh?...please explain in details jazakallah khairun

Answer

A person only becomes sinful when he deliberately leaves out the Sunnat-e-Muakkadah continuously. If due to unavoidable circumstances he omits them once in a while, then he will not be regarded as sinful. (Shaami vol.2 pg.451; Multan). The four Sunnats before Jummu'ah Salaat and the four and two Sunnats after the Jummu'ah Salaat are Sunnat-e-Muakkadah.

The person should first speak to his employer or teacher humbly appealing to them to extend his leave time by at least ten minutes. He may suggest that he is prepared to work overtime to cover the time lost. He should do all that is in his power to be able to read the Sunan of Jummu'ah.

Which sunnah salaah are emphasised (muakkadah)?

“Sunnah Salaah should not be unduly missed during a journey. However, if the Musaafir is in a hurry then, apart from the Sunnah of Fajr, it will be permissible for him to omit the other Sunnah Salaahs.”
