The Imams Entering Before the Sun Reaches Its Zenith and the Adhan Before the Time of Friday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Some of the imams on Friday enter before the sun reaches its zenith, and consequently the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan a quarter of an hour or half an hour before the sun reaches its zenith. He says: Based on this, some women pray at home. So, if she prays her prayer, is it valid, or is she ordered to repeat it? And what is your advice to these imams?
Answer:
Our advice to them is to fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and not to cause confusion for the people. They should enter when the sun has reached its zenith and the time of Dhuhr has entered. This is the practice in this country, and it is the position of the majority of scholars. In fact, it is perhaps close to a consensus on this matter that the time for Friday prayer enters with the entry of the time for Dhuhr. Therefore, it is not permissible for them to enter before the time of Dhuhr, because this is contrary to the Sunnah.
And it is contrary to the practice in the country, which is an anomaly. Also, what the questioner mentioned is that the sick and women who do not attend Friday prayer hasten and pray Dhuhr upon the adhan of these imams, while the time of Dhuhr has not yet entered. Yes.
