The beginning of the first hour on Friday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the hadith that contains
Whoever comes in the first hour on Friday is as if he offered a camelمن جاء في الساعة الأولى يوم الجمعة فكأنما قرب بدنه إلى
at the end of the hadith, we ask for clarification on when the first hour begins; because I heard from a person that it begins one hour before the preacher ascends the pulpit?

Answer:
No, that is a mistake. Among the scholars, some said the first hour begins from the Fajr prayer, and some said it begins with the rising of the sun. This is what you heard Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) say; he stated that it begins from the rising of the sun.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
