AL-KAFI #441 : HUKUM PENDAPATAN YANG DIPEROLEH KETIKA SOLAT JUMAAT
Is income earned from trading during the Friday prayer time unlawful, and what if the shop is run by a woman?
Short answer
Trading by a person obliged to attend Friday prayer, after the sun passes its zenith and the call to prayer has been sounded, is prohibited, based on Surah al-Jumuah verse 9.

Summary
Trading by a person obliged to attend Friday prayer, after the sun passes its zenith and the call to prayer has been sounded, is prohibited, based on Surah al-Jumuah verse 9. Women and travellers who are not obliged to perform Friday prayer are not prohibited from trading, but it is still prohibited if they trade with a man who is obliged, as it distracts him from an obligatory act. The sale contract remains valid though sinful, so the earnings are lawful but lack or have reduced blessing.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika seseorang yang wajib ke atasnya solat fardu Jumaat berniaga selepas gelincirnya matahari, dan selepas azan sudah mula dikumandangkan oleh muazzin, maka haram hukumnya perniagaan tersebut.
