Summary
Every Muslim is obliged to hasten to the mosque for Friday prayer after the first call to prayer, and it is recommended to arrive earlier, before the call. The sermon is a condition for the validity of the Friday prayer, and the duty to hasten is based on Surah al-Jumu'ah verse 9 and the hadith of Aus bin Aus. Exceptions apply to those with a need, necessity or valid excuse.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tuntasnya, kami berpandangan setiap Muslim wajib bersegera menuju ke masjid untuk solat Jumaat setelah azan pertama dilaungkan, dan disunatkan untuk hadir awal ke masjid sebelum azan dilaungkan, kecuali bagi mereka yang mempunyai hajat, keperluan atau keuzuran.
