Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The duration of the hour (on Friday) by our current time, or...?
Answer:
No, it is a specific hour, but it has no fixed limit. It means a short hour, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated with his hand, making it small, meaning it is brief.
Q: Does the disagreement in determining the hour of Friday indicate that it moves?
The Shaykh: It is possible that it moves, and it is possible that he informed this person at one time and that person at another time; in which case, one would abrogate the other. So the prudent course is to make much du'a, making much du'a during its hours, hoping to coincide with this hour. And he should give special attention to the 'Asr time and the time when the imam is sitting on the minbar, giving it extra care; because a text has come regarding it.
Q: What is the stronger position?
The Shaykh: All of them are valid, this one and that one. He makes du'a in this one and in that one.
Q: Does he raise his hands?
The Shaykh: If he raises his hands, there is no harm, but when waiting for Friday, he does not raise his hands when he hears the khatib, or in the prayer, he does not raise them.
Q: At the end of Friday?
The Shaykh: If he sits after 'Asr and raises his hands, there is nothing wrong with it.
