Continuation of the benefits of the hadith: (Whoever takes a bath on Friday and purifies himself with whatever purification he is able to, then applies oil or touches some perfume...)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : It has already been mentioned in the rest of the discussion that a person should take a bath on Friday; indeed, it is obligatory for him to take a bath, apply oil, use perfume, and wear his best clothes.
In his statement:Sahih al-Bukhari 910 there is evidence that on Friday, if a person continues his prayer, there is no prohibition in it.
As for what some people do now, when the imam is about to arrive and they have been sitting in the mosque from the beginning, and then when the imam is about to arrive they stand up to pray, this is an error and is not permissible. This is because when the sun is at its zenith, there is a time of prohibition, so it is not permissible for a person to stand up.
Based on this, we say that if a person enters the mosque on Friday, even during the time of prohibition, he should not sit until he prays two rak'ahs. If he enters before the time of prohibition and continues in his prayer, do we say that he may do so until the imam arrives? We say that there are texts which, on their apparent meaning, indicate this.
Some scholars have said that these texts, which appear to be so, must be interpreted in light of the explicit texts established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he prohibited prayer when the sun is rising until it reaches its zenith. However, if a person was sitting at first and the time of prohibition came before the zenith, and then when the zenith was approaching he stood up to pray, his action has no merit in terms of consideration; rather, it is prohibited. We see this happening frequently in some mosques.
In his statement:
and prays as much as is written for him and remains quiet when the Imam
