Summary
Online transactions during the Friday prayer are prohibited because they can distract a person from focusing on the prayer. Trading on Friday is permissible in principle, but the prohibition begins when the second call to prayer is made and the imam is on the pulpit. The ruling is the same as for ordinary sales and similar dealings such as marriage contracts and leases. Muslims are advised to carry out such transactions after the Friday prayer has finished.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum melakukan transaksi jual beli secara atas talian ketika solat jumaat adalah haram kerana ia boleh melalaikan seseorang daripada menumpukan solat jumaat.
