Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some of our brothers who are imams of the mosques on Friday, when the second adhan is called, they stand up and pray the pre-Friday sunnah. Is this sunnah established from the righteous Salaf and from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh : It has no basis. No, it has no basis.
The questioner : This indicates their ignorance, meaning
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : They all stand up, but I remain sitting in my shade. However, before the adhan, I pray ten or twenty rak'ahs and conclude with the taslim. But when the adhan is called, I remain as I am and do not stand up.
The Shaykh: That is correct.
The Shaykh : Now, I think we should give a little time to our brothers here, because we have little time left or the time has ended, but let us look at the important question you have. What is the one question?
