Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it only regarding the recommended practice before Friday?
The Shaykh : This has no basis.
The questioner : Okay, regarding...?
The questioner: Are you finished, or do you still have something to say?
The Shaykh : No, he still has something to say.
The questioner : Okay, here in Jordan, you have noticed that on most Fridays, people stand up and pray between the two calls to prayer?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Okay, why is there no preaching or guidance between the scholars to explain to them that this is not part of the Sunnah, or what is its ruling, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : As for the first answer, it is with Abu 'Adnan. Because he mentioned earlier the people of the turbans and what they say.
The questioner : In the mosque where we are, there is no one, but today I prayed in a mosque in al-Ashtareyah near my father's house, and no one stood up except me who... was sitting. I remained sitting while the rest all prayed the... I prayed six rak'ahs when the... prayer before Friday opened, and I sat down. When the call to prayer was made, everyone stood up and prayed except me, meaning they were surprised by me.
The Shaykh : May Allah allow you to catch up with the strangers. But your question, why? Because the atmosphere prevents many people from speaking like this openly in the mosques, and I do not think you have left this country, are you a resident here?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Have you not been informed of the efforts of the one mentioned earlier by our brother Abu 'Adnan, how that as soon as he hears news about an imam of the mosques that he spoke on this topic or similar ones, especially if he is a stranger to the country, he decides to expel him from the country. Have you not been informed of such news?
The questioner : I want to reach this correct point.
The Shaykh : So I have brought you to it...
The questioner : Meaning, if you allow me, my masterThe Shaykh : .
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The Shaykh : This has no basis.
