The questioner : Regarding the Friday prayer before the sun reaches its zenith, I did not understand the evidence...?
The Shaykh : Yes, from the hadith of Jabir that passed before us:
The questioner : But acts of worship are based on divine legislation? And there is no clear evidence for a person to follow.
The Shaykh : No, for those who permit it, there is clear evidence, as well as the hadith of Abu Hurayrah regarding the one who came in the first hour and reached the fifth hour.
