Summary
Buying and selling is prohibited after the second call to prayer sounds and when the imam ascends the pulpit, based on verse 9 of Surah al-Jumu'ah and scholarly consensus. The prohibition is directed at men who meet the conditions of obligatory Friday prayer, while women, children and travellers are not covered by that command. Trading before the noon prayer time and after the Friday prayer is permitted, and a transaction between two parties who are not obliged to attend Friday prayer is not prohibited. A transaction between a woman and a man who is obliged to attend remains prohibited during the restricted time.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam hal ini, para ulama bersepakat haram melakukan jual beli setelah azan yang kedua berkumandang dan ketika imam menaiki mimbar untuk menyampaikan khutbah.
