Determining the Hour of Response on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our sister asks and says: When is the Hour of Response on Friday? Is it between the first and second adhan of Zuhr, or from the 'Asr prayer until the time for the Maghrib adhan arrives?
Answer: Every hour of Friday is a likely time for response; every hour of Friday is a likely time for response. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that there is an hour in it in which no supplicant is turned away, and it is a short hour. Therefore, it is prescribed for the believing man and woman to increase their supplication on Friday from its beginning to its end. However, the two hours most likely to be the Hour of Response are:
The first is: from when the imam sits on the pulpit on Friday for the sermon until the prayer is completed. A hadith regarding this was narrated by Muslim in the Sahih:Sunan Abi Dawud 1049 Some of them criticized it due to its being mawquf (stopping at a Companion) at Abu Burdah, but the correct view is that it is muttasil (connected) and marfu' (traced to the Prophet), and Muslim narrated it in the Sahih.
The second time is: from the 'Asr prayer until the setting of the sun. There are also hadiths regarding this. These two times are the most hopeful hours and the most likely to be the Hour of Response. However, despite this, it is recommended to make supplication at all times on Friday, in order to strive for this hour. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

This hour is found during the period when the imam is seated (for giving Friday sermon) until the prayer is finished.
أنها ما بين أن يجلس الإمام إلى أن تقضى الصلاةThe second time is: from the 'Asr prayer until the setting of the sun. There are also hadiths regarding this.
