Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the stronger position regarding the time of the Hour of Response on Friday?
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar mentioned more than twenty opinions on this in *Fath al-Bari*. The strongest of them, and Allah knows best, is the one chosen by Imam Ahmad: that it is the end of the day, before the sun sets. This is one opinion. The second opinion is also that it is from the time the imam ascends the pulpit until the prayer is completed. Yes.
