Is the time of the sun’s zenith on Friday an exception to the prohibition of prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Well, Shaykh, regarding the jurists’ exception for the time of the Friday prayer, which is one of the times when prayer is prohibited when the sun is at its zenith, they said: except on Friday?

The Shaykh:
Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Then he prays two rak’ahs until the imam comes out,” and he did not make an exception.

The questioner:
So it is permissible, Shaykh? Yes, meaning Friday is an exception.

The Shaykh:
That the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) [prayed] until the imam comes out.

The questioner:
The imam comes out, and the hadith from Abu Dawud, except on Friday, is weak.

The Shaykh:
It is weak, but its meaning is correct. Peace be upon you.
