Question: How many Rakaats should a person perform for Jumuah Salaah in total?

Answer: Jumuah Salaah consists of a total of twelve Rakaats: four Rakaats of Sunnah Muakkadah before, then two Fardh (with the Imam), then four Rakaats of Sunnah Muakkadah after, and finishing with a further two Rakaats of Sunnah Ghair-Muakkadah.

As for a lady (performing Salaah at home), she will perform her normal Thuhr Salaah i.e. four Sunnah Muakkadah before, followed the four Fardh, then two Sunnah Muakkadah and two Sunnah Ghai-Muakkadah.

وسن مؤكدا اربع قبل الظهر وركعتان بعدها ، واربع قبل الجمعة واربع بعدها
And Allah Knows Best
