Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it prescribed for the Friday preacher to arrive at the mosque early to receive the reward for arriving early mentioned in the hadith, for the one who comes in the first hour, or does he arrive at the time of the sermon and enter?
Answer:
The Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was that he would arrive at the time of the sermon and begin the sermon, and he is not required to perform the greeting of the mosque. Yes.
