Does the first hour of Friday begin immediately after Fajr?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When does the time for the Friday prayer begin? Is it immediately after Fajr, so that it counts toward the first hour?

Answer:
Some scholars hold that the first hour begins after the Fajr prayer, while others say it begins after the sun rises. This is the view I heard Shaykh Ibn Baz prefer, namely that it begins after the sun rises.
