What is the ruling on holding scholarly lessons at dawn on Friday?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh: What is the ruling on holding lessons for the Qur'an and scholarly lessons at dawn on Friday?
The Shaykh : We see no harm in this, as long as it does not cause difficulty for the worshippers. As for the prohibition of holding lessons on Friday, that applies when it causes difficulty for the people, because in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), they would advance and come in the first hour. So if the lessons in the mosque cause difficulty for the people, that is different. But in a mosque where people do not come to it except when the imam arrives, there is no difference between Friday and other days.
The questioner : May Allah keep us and you firm upon the truth.
The Shaykh : Amen, and our listening brothers.
