Ruling on collecting car fares after the second call to Friday prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: In another question, he says: We know that selling is forbidden after the second call on Friday. Does this apply to taxi and bus drivers who collect a fixed amount for transporting passengers? And what guidance do you have for them? May Allah reward you with good.
The answer: Yes, renting out cars is a sale; because the fare is a sale, a sale of benefits. It falls under the noble verse: [Al-Jumu'ah:9]. The cars stop, and the taxi drivers stop and head to the mosque. It is obligatory for them to do so, and it is not permissible for them to rent them out in this state. Rather, they should stop them and head to the mosque when they hear the call. This is what is obligatory for them; because renting is a type of sale, a sale of benefits called a fare, and it is a sale. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence! If the second call varies from one mosque to another, and there may be nearly half an hour between some mosques and others, what is the guidance of Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: When the caller is heard in the place where he is, that is sufficient.
The presenter: So the criterion is the place...?
The Shaykh: The place where he is. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah bless you, may Allah reward you with good, and may Allah do you good.
The answer: Yes, renting out cars is a sale; because the fare is a sale, a sale of benefits. It falls under the noble verse:
When the call is made for prayer on the day of Jumu'ah
إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence! If the second call varies from one mosque to another, and there may be nearly half an hour between some mosques and others, what is the guidance of Your Eminence?
