Is the marriage contract valid if concluded during the second call to prayer on Friday?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I heard a fatwa like this, where they tell you: when the Friday adhan is called, meaning the one who wants to conclude his marriage contract at this time, they say it is invalid?!
The Shaykh : This is correct!
The questioner : Is it correct, O Shaykh?! The Friday prayer is connected to the prayer!
The Shaykh : Yes, but there is a detail here that you must know: their reliance is on the noble verse:[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9]. So if a person concludes a sale with another person, the contract is invalid, because he contradicted the verse: . He did not leave the sale, but when the call to prayer is made, is it the first call or the second?! Many people mistakenly think that the first call is intended. No, the second adhan is intended, which had no other call in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the time of Abu Bakr, and the time of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. That is: when the imam ascends the pulpit and the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan. At this time, if any contract is concluded, whether it is a sale, a marriage, a divorce, or anything else, it is invalid because of this second adhan, not the first.
The Shaykh : This is correct!
The questioner : Is it correct, O Shaykh?! The Friday prayer is connected to the prayer!
The Shaykh : Yes, but there is a detail here that you must know: their reliance is on the noble verse:
when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade
إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَleave the sale
ذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ
