Is it permissible for a woman to pray the midday prayer while the imam is delivering the Friday sermon?

Question : Peace be upon you. The sister asking us on the line says: If a woman prays on Friday while the imam is still praying in the mosque to catch the hour of answered supplication, is that permissible for her?

Answer : Yes, it is permissible for a woman to pray, even if the imam is praying the Friday prayer, meaning she may pray the midday prayer even if the imam is praying the Friday prayer, provided that the time for the midday prayer has entered. If the imam has already prayed the Friday prayer before the sun has passed its zenith, she does not pray the midday prayer, because the time for the midday prayer has not yet entered.
