Faqihlar ikki namozning har biri uchun g'usl qilishning savobli ekani, ularning azon aytilmasdan hamda iqomat aytilmasdan ado etilishi haqida ittifoq qilganlar, chunki bu Allohning Elchisi ﷺ dan sobit bo'lgan amaliyot edi. Faqat Mu'oviya tomonidan bu amaliyotda kiritilgan bid'at bundan mustasno, buni Abu 'Umar naql qilgan eng sahih rivoyatda qayd etilgan. Shuningdek, ular xutbadan oldin namoz o'qish sunnat ekani haqida ham ittifoq qilganlar, chunki bu ham Allohning Elchisi ﷺ dan sobit bo'lgan. Faqat 'Usmon ibn 'Affon'dan rivoyat qilinganidek, u odamlar xutbadan oldin tarqalib ketmasligi uchun namozni kechiktirib, xutbani oldinga surgan holat bundan mustasno. Ular, shuningdek, namozlarda qiroat uchun vaqt chegarasi yo'qligi haqida ham ittifoq qilganlar. Ko'pchilik birinchi rakatda "A'lo" surasini, ikkinchi rakatda esa "G'oshiya" surasini o'qishni tavsiya qilgan, chunki bu Allohning Elchisi ﷺ dan butun umma tomonidan tavotur yo'li bilan naql qilingan. Imom ash-Shofi'iy esa "Qof" va "Qamar" suralarini o'qishni tavsiya qilgan, chunki bu Payg'ambar ﷺ dan sobit bo'lgan.

The jurists agreed upon the religious merit of bathing for (each of) the two prayers and that they are observed without the call for prayers and (without) the pronouncement of the iqdma, as this was the established practice of the Messenger of Allah (God’s peace and blessings be upon him), except for the innovation in this practice by Mu*awiya as recorded in a most authentic statement according to Abu ‘Umar. Likewise, they agreed that the sunna is to observe the prayer before the sermon, as that too has been established from the Messenger of Allah (God’s peace and blessings be upon him), except what is related from TJthman ibn ‘Affan that he delayed the prayer and advanced the sermon so that the people should not disperse prior to the khutba. They also agreed that there is no time limit set for the recitation in the prayers. Most of them recommended that surat al-A^la be recited in the first rak^a and surat al-Ghashiya in the second as this is transmitted through tawdtur (by the whole community) from the Messenger of Allah (God’s peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Shafi‘T recommended that surat Qaf and surat al~ Qamar be recited, because it was established from the Prophet (God’s peace and blessings be upon him).
