Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh. In the second case, regarding the Friday prayer, we go early and we hope for reward, if Allah wills. If the first adhan is called, should one perform voluntary prayer after the first adhan and the following adhan, or should one continue reciting the Qur'an? Which is preferable?
Answer:
You have the choice, you have the choice, my brother. However, it is better to pray from the time you enter the mosque until the imam arrives. If you pray whatever is easy for you and then sit and recite the Qur'an, that is all good. Yes.
