Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is Hasan Hashim from Riyadh. He says: When does the imam ascend the pulpit on Friday? What is your view of the one who ascends the pulpit before the time of the midday call to prayer? And what is your advice to him?
Answer:
The correct view, which is the position of the majority and the one we hold, is that the time for the Friday prayer begins with the entry of the time for the midday prayer, when the sun passes its zenith. The preacher enters when the sun has passed its zenith, and he does not enter before that. This is the position of the majority, and the authentic hadiths indicate this. Yes.
