Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am the khatib (sermon giver) for one of the congregational mosques. What is the ruling on delaying the Friday prayer until after the time has entered? And which is better for the khatib, to be early or to be late?
Answer:
The khatib comes in with the entry of the time. He does not delay to the point where it becomes difficult for the people, nor does he advance to the point where he comes before the time has entered. He enters the mosque with the entry of the time, which is when the sun passes its zenith. When the sun passes its zenith, the khatib enters. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
