Should a Woman Pray Sunnah Prayers on Friday When She Prays Dhuhr?
Question

As is well known, a woman’s praying in her house is better than her praying in the mosque, which includes Jumu`ah prayer. It is also well known that she should pray Jumu`ah as Dhuhr if she does not pray with the congregation. My question is: if she prays Jumu`ah as Dhuhr, should she also pray the regular Sunnah prayers of Dhuhr, as she does every day? Or is the ruling on Friday different?
Praise be to Allah.Jumu`ah prayer is not obligatory for women, but if a woman goes out to the mosque and prays Jumu`ah, that is sufficient and she does not have to pray Dhuhr.
The scholars of the Permanent Committee for Ifta’ were asked:
If a woman prays Jumu`ah with the imam of the mosque, that is sufficient and she does not have to pray Dhuhr. Hence it is not permissible for her to pray Dhuhr on that day. But if she prays on her own, she should only pray Dhuhr and she should not pray Jumu`ah. (End quote)
So if she prays Dhuhr in her house on Friday, then she should pray the Sunnah prayers that come before and after Dhuhr, as she does every day.
And Allah knows best.
