Determining the Hour of Response on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu 'Abdullah says that on Friday there is an hour in which supplication is answered. Is this hour fixed, or does it move?
The Shaykh:
The hour is fixed in its place, but Allah has concealed it so that the Muslim strives throughout the day, thereby increasing his reward. Yes.
The presenter:
And is there, O Shaykh, a fixed statement or a report from our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding its determination?
The Shaykh:
No, Allah concealed it so that the Muslim strives throughout the day, just as He concealed the Night of Decree in Ramadan so that the Muslim strives throughout the month, thereby increasing his reward. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes.
