The Ruling on Voluntary Prayer During the Prohibited Times on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, regarding Friday, for example, if a person arrives early and then performs voluntary prayer before the imam enters, and after he has recited the Quran, he stands up and performs voluntary prayer. Is this a time when it is not permissible? What is the ruling?
The Shaykh:
Yes, on Friday there is no prohibition. There is no prohibition on fasting, and there is no prohibition on Friday itself, nor at the time of the sun’s zenith, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the one who comes to pray to pray whatever he can, and he did not say except at the time of standing. So some scholars of knowledge excluded Friday, excluding the time of standing on Friday, saying it is not a prohibited time. It is not a prohibited time at all; every time on Friday is [permissible]. Praying near the prayer, a day before the zenith, there is no harm. He prays until the imam enters and is seen, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) legislated that and told him to pray until the imam exits, and he did not tell him to stand at the time of standing in the prison.
The questioner:
As for its 'Asr, its 'Asr is at a time when it is not permissible.
The Shaykh:
Its morning and its 'Asr. Yes. Tafsir. Al-Baghawi (may Allah preserve you) in your home. May Allah bless you. There is very severe crowding, even if it is in the mosque or in a wide place, he finds very severe crowding today. Complete matters regarding the topic. May Allah reward you. Yes.
