The Time for Entering the Friday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: When does the time for the Friday prayer begin?
Answer:
The time for the Friday prayer begins from the start of the time for the midday prayer, according to the correct view. This is the position of the majority and a narration from Ahmad. The evidence indicates that it does not begin until the sun has passed its zenith. There is another narration from Ahmad, which is the school’s position as stated in the text of al-Zad, that its time begins when the sun rises, at the time of the festival prayer. However, this is the weaker opinion, the majority holds the opposite, and the evidence points to the second view that it does not occur except when the sun has passed its zenith.
