Question:
This questioner, Abu Bakr, asks: Does the prohibition against gathering in circles on Friday before the prayer include lessons and gatherings after the Friday dawn prayer?
Answer:
Yes, anything that prevents one from attending the Friday prayer is prohibited. The prohibition against gathering in circles refers to gathering for the sake of seeking knowledge, just as on other days of the week, if such a gathering prevents one from attending the Friday prayer. However, if it does not prevent one from attending the congregational mosque, there is no harm in it, for there is no objection to it. Yes.
