Holding lessons on the morning of Friday and gathering in circles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to hold lessons on the morning of Friday? I have heard that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade gathering in circles on Friday.
Answer:
It is not better. The lessons should be held after the Friday prayer or on a day other than Friday. As for before the prayer, the Prophet forbade gathering in circles because this distracts from the Friday prayer.
