Conditions for the Acceptance of Supplication and the Hour of Friday

Question:
The questioner asks: What are the conditions for the acceptance of supplication? How do I coincide with the hour of acceptance on Friday? What are its times? And what are the conditions for the acceptance of supplication within it?

Answer:
The conditions for the response to supplication are sincerity to Allah and consuming what is lawful; your food, clothing, and drink must be from what is lawful. As for Friday, the entire day is a possibility for the hour of response, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify whether it is at the beginning of the day, in the middle, or at the end. So you should strive to make supplication throughout the day to ensure you catch the hour of response. However, some scholars specify that it is when the imam enters the mosque until the prayer is completed, saying, "This is the hour of response." Others say it is the last hour of the day before the sun sets, which is the view of Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him). In any case, if you make supplication throughout the day, you will have certainly caught the hour of response. But if you restrict it to a specific time of the day, we do not know; you may or may not coincide with it. Yes.
