Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: When does the imam ascend the pulpit on Friday? And what is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, of the one who ascends the pulpit before the time of the adhan for the midday prayer? Sometimes they may pray before the adhan. May Allah bless you.
Answer:
The time for the Friday prayer is the time of the midday prayer. So when the time for the midday prayer enters, the time for the Friday prayer enters. The imam ascends when the time for the midday prayer enters, and he does not advance the entry or the ascent before the time enters, because he may pray before the time, as the questioner mentioned. He is bound by the time, because the time for Friday, according to the majority of the scholars of knowledge, and this is the correct view, is the time of the midday prayer with the setting of the sun. Yes.
