The time for a woman to pray the midday prayer on Friday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Regarding a woman on Friday, is it permissible for her to pray the midday prayer before the sermon is delivered in the mosque? Please direct us, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon whoever follows his guidance. As for what follows, the woman is required to pray the midday prayer,

The presenter:
after the sun has passed its zenith.

The Shaykh:
Whether the preacher has delivered the sermon or not, she has no connection to the Friday prayer. She is required to ascertain the time. Once the sun has passed its zenith and the time for the midday prayer has entered, she prays, whether the preacher has delivered the Friday sermon or not. However, she must be careful and not rush until she knows that the time has entered and that the sun has passed its zenith, then she prays the midday prayer after that. And if she prays the Friday prayer with the people, counting it as Friday, if she prays Friday with the group, praise be to Allah, the Friday prayer suffices for her. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you. Do you advise her to follow the calendar, Your Eminence the Shaykh, so that she is certain of the sun passing its zenith?

The Shaykh:
The calendar is useful; it helps with that. Reviewing the calendar helps with that. Do not rush after the time indicated in the calendar by a quarter of an hour or half an hour, so that you take precautions. Yes.

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