Question:
When is the hour of response on Friday? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) differed regarding the determination of the hour of response on Friday. It is a fixed hour in the authentic hadiths, but the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify it; rather, he informed that it is on Friday. This is for a great wisdom, which is that the Muslim strives in righteous deeds throughout the entire day, seeking this hour. As for the one who strives throughout the entire day, he will certainly have encountered this hour, by the permission of Allah. Similarly, Allah concealed Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree) in Ramadan and did not specify which night it is, so that the Muslim strives in all the nights of the month with tahajjud (the late-night voluntary prayer), prayer, worship, seeking forgiveness, repentance, and supplication. If he strives in all the nights of the month, he will certainly have encountered this night. However, the scholars have various opinions regarding the determination of this hour. Yes.
The closest opinion is that it is the last hour of Friday, as is the opinion of Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) that it occurs in the last hour of this day, meaning before sunset, before the sun sets, at the end of the day. Some hold that it is from the time the imam sits on the minbar (the pulpit) until the iqamah (the second call, immediately before prayer) is made. In any case, this entire day is great, and all of it is virtuous. It is the master of days, the best day on which the sun has risen, and it is the festival of the week. It is a great day. Wherever the Muslim strives in worship and supplicates to Allah in it, he is likely to have his supplication answered.
