The ruling on buying and selling after the first adhan on Friday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is buying and selling forbidden after the first adhan on Friday?

Answer:
What is meant is the second adhan, which is when the imam arrives. This is what is intended by the phrase "when the call to prayer is made," because the one who delays until the second adhan misses the Friday prayer or misses the sermon. It is required to be present for the sermon,
then proceed to the remembrance of Allahفَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ
[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9]
. The remembrance of Allah is the sermon, and it is required to be present for it. So it is the second adhan that makes buying and selling forbidden. As for the first adhan, it is an encouragement to hasten to the prayer. So if one buys or sells after it, there is no harm. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
