Among the characteristics of Friday is the loud recitation in prayer, even though it is a daytime prayer.

The Shaykh : Among the characteristics of Friday is that it has this prayer which differs from the other prayers. This prayer is performed with loud recitation, meaning the imam recites aloud in it, even though it is a daytime prayer. However, if we reflect, we find that when a daytime prayer is one to which people gather, it is prescribed to recite aloud. Have you not seen the prayer of the festival, where people gather for it, and the recommended practice is for the imam to recite aloud? The prayer of the eclipse, where people gather for it, and the recommended practice is for the imam to recite aloud in it? This is because in the prayer of the eclipse, it is better for people to gather in one mosque, in the congregational mosques, and for the imam to recite aloud, and to preach to them after finishing the prayer with a sermon in which he admonishes them, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did.
