The Time of the Friday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: When does the time for the Friday prayer begin?
Answer:
The time for the Friday prayer begins at the start of the time for the midday prayer, according to the correct view. This is the position of the majority, and it is a narration from Ahmad, and it is what the evidence indicates: that it does not begin until the sun has passed its zenith. There is another narration from Ahmad, which is the position of the school, in *Makn al-Zad*—O questioner—stating that the time for the Friday prayer begins when the sun rises. However, this is the weaker opinion, and the majority hold the opposite. The evidence points to the second opinion, that it does not occur except when the sun reaches its zenith.
