The obligatory part of the Friday prayer is two rak‘ahs. In addition, there are eight sunnah rak‘ahs: four before the obligatory prayer and four after. (Kâsânî, Bedā’i‘, 1/269, 285)

According to Imam Abū Yūsuf, the sunnah to be performed after the obligatory prayer consists of a total of six rak‘ahs: four with one salām and two with one salām. It is reported that this view is narrated from ʿAlī (r.a.). (Kâsânî, Bedā’i‘, 1/285)
