The Time for Reciting Surat al-Kahf on Friday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. A listener from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, who concealed her name with the letters alif, alif, says: Does reciting Surat al-Kahf on Friday have a specific time, or does its time continue until Maghrib? May Allah grant you success and keep your steps steady.

The Shaykh:
Reciting Surat al-Kahf on Friday is recommended, due to what has been reported regarding its virtue on this day, the virtue of reciting it on this day. It has come in the hadith:
That whoever recites it on the day of Friday will be illuminated with light between the two Fridays.أن من قرأها في يوم الْجُمُعَةِ أَضَاءَ لَهُ مِنْ النُّورِ ما بين الجمعتين،
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 25:518
And this is a permissible matter according to many scholars, or it is recommended to recite it on this day. There is no specific time; rather, it is recited throughout the day, at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end. Whoever recites it will obtain the reward, by the permission of Allah. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you.

The questioner:
If the Muslim recites it on the night of Friday, Shaykh Salih, has he attained this reward?

The Shaykh:
The hadith was only reported regarding the day of Friday, so it is recited during the day. Yes.
