Is it Sunnah Mu'akkadah to perform four Rakaahs salaah after the Jumu'ah salaah or Six Rakaahs

Q: Salaah-607: Are four Rakaahs Sunnah Mu'akkadah after the Jumu'ah salaah or six Rakaahs? How many Rakaahs are Sunnah Mu'akkadah according to Imaam Abu Haneefah RAH. and how many according to Imaam Abu Yusuf RAH. Will a person be sinful for performing only four Rakaahs?

Answer: While four Rakaahs with one Salaam are preferred by Imaam Abu Haneefah RAH. Imaam Abu Yusuf au4ijrw prefers six Rakaahs. Therefore, one may perform four Rakaahs as Sunnah Mu'akkadah after the Jumu'ah salaah and then another two as Sunnah Ghayr Mu'akkadah. However, none can be reproached for performing only four Rakaahs.

Hadhrat Mufti Muhammad KifaayatullaahRAH. has also stated that it is Sunnah Mu'akkadah to perform four Rakaahs after the Jumu'ah salaah and that it is Sunnah Ghayr Mu'akkadah to perform two Rakaahs. Imdaadul Fataawaa (Vol.1 Pg.678) reiterates this, quoting from Durrul Mukhtaar. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
