Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it from the Sunnah to sit for the Friday prayer from after the Fajr prayer and not to leave until the Friday prayer is completed?
Answer:
Yes, this is good. This is in the first hour, and continuing until the Friday prayer is a good thing. And this person is in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) and is considered to be in i'tikaf in the mosque, and is considered to be waiting for the Friday prayer, and is considered to have obtained the five hours mentioned by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). But there is no harm if he needs to perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) or needs something light; he can go out, relieve himself, and return. The one who is present in the mosque and sitting in the mosque is counted for this, yes.
