Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is the last question in this woman's letter, with which we conclude this program. She says: The last hour of the 'Asr prayer on Friday, Honorable Shaykh, is the time of response, so is the prayer valid in it?
Answer:
The prayer is not valid in the last hour of Friday; because it is at sunset, when the sun sets, and this is a time of prohibition. However, the intended meaning of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is that the prayer here means supplication; because in the language, prayer is supplication. So the intended meaning of his saying "and he is standing praying" is that he is standing supplicating to Allah the Exalted, and supplication is called prayer. Yes.

No believing servant will encounter it, meaning that hour, while standing praying, asking Allah for something.
لا يصادفها يعني الساعة عبد مؤمن وهو قائم يصلي يسأل الله شيئا
