Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A lesson is held at our place on Friday before the sermon, where the people gather around the teacher. Is it permissible to attend this lesson? Knowing that the intention is not merely to attend, but to gain the reward of arriving early for the Friday prayer?
Answer:
This is permissible. It is permissible if there is a benefit and you sit to benefit from it. There is no harm in doing so before Friday, or after, or after the Friday prayer. It is narrated from some of the Companions, I think from Abu Hurayrah, that he would sit and remind the people before the Friday prayer, and something was reported regarding some of the Companions. In any case, there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
