The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: What is the stronger opinion regarding the time of the hour of response on Friday? Is it from the time the imam goes out for the sermon, or is it the last hour after 'Asr, even though in both times the person is not standing in prayer as mentioned in the hadith?
The Shaykh:
The opinion preferred by Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) is that it isAs-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:702. Some scholars hold that it is from the time the preacher enters until the Friday prayer is completed. The meaning of his statement "standing in prayer" is that he is making du'a', because du'a' is called prayer. Du'a' is called prayer. His saying, the Exalted, "and pray for them" means "make du'a' for them." [At-Tawbah 9:103] means "make du'a' for them." Yes.
The presenter:
Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
Standing in prayer is like standing in du'a'. Yes.
