The ruling on selling between the adhan and the iqamah on days other than Friday

Question:
Is selling permissible between the adhan and the iqamah on days other than Friday?

Answer:
He should refrain from it, as it may hinder him from the prayer. However, the explicit text refers to Friday. Nevertheless, on days other than Friday, he should refrain from it so that it does not hinder him from the prayer. The most preferable and safest course for him is to refrain from it, even though the explicit text refers to Friday. The safest course for the believer is to refrain from it when the call to prayer is made for the Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, or Isha prayers, because the prayers are similar in meaning; they are all obligatory, and it is obligatory to hasten to them all. The explicit mention of Friday indicates the great status of Friday, but this does not preclude the same applying to other days. It is safest for the believer to be cautious; when the adhan is called, he should hasten. This is the safest course for the believer.
