Summary
Once the preacher has ascended the pulpit and the Friday call to prayer is made, it is forbidden to trade or engage in other activities that occupy a person or delay them from hastening to the Friday prayer. This applies even if the person obliged to attend believes the activity will not prevent them from attending. Those not obliged to attend, such as women, children and travellers, are also forbidden to trade or make other contracts with people known to be obliged. The authorities are advised to temporarily halt activity at business premises around Friday prayer venues.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Apabila khatib menaiki mimbar dan azan Jumaat dilaungkan, haram berjual-beli atau melakukan kegiatan lain yang boleh menyibukkan atau melewatkan diri dari bersegera menghadiri Jumaat.
