The time of the first adhan for Jumu'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, regarding the first adhan, some people make it one hour before the second adhan, and some make it an hour and a half. Does it have a specific time, or a very narrow time?
Answer:
It is according to need, but the best is the middle ground: not bringing it forward too early, and not delaying it too much. Let it be moderate according to the people's need. One hour is good; that is, if there is an hour between them, that is a good thing, because people are able to prepare for the Friday prayer and go to it, and the one whose place is far from the mosque has time to go. So one hour is good and moderate.
