The First Hour of Friday and Going Early to It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He wants Your Eminence the Shaykh to clarify for us the first hour in which one should start going to the Friday prayer, and he also wants Your Eminence the Shaykh to guide the brothers regarding going early for the Friday prayer.
Answer:
The stronger position is that the first time is after the sun rises, and some scholars say it is after the dawn. Hastening to the Friday prayer has great virtue. The Muslim hastens to the Friday prayer, sits, prays, sits in the mosque, recites the Qur'an, and waits for the prayer. He is in the state of a person who is praying while he waits, so there are many rewards in it. He should not deprive himself of that.
