The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: It is reported in the Sunnah that if one comes to the Friday prayer in the first hour, it is as if he had offered a sacrifice. Yes. The question is: Does this also apply to the one who stayed in his home for the Friday prayer?
The Shaykh:
What is this?
The questioner:
Does this hadith include the reality of the Friday prayer?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the one who intended to come but stayed in his home acting upon the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who did not attend except at the time of the sermon, has the reward, if Allah wills, because he stayed in his home following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and acting upon the Sunnah. Yes.
