Summary
The ruling begins by establishing that the azan is prescribed in the Quran and the Sunnah, and that it began in the first year of the Hijrah. In the Shafii school, the Friday azan is made after the prayer time has begun. Other schools, such as the Hanbali school, allow it to be made before the time enters.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam mazhab Syafie azan jumaat adalah selepas masuk waktunya. Adapun mazhab yang lain boleh dilakukan azan sebelum masuk waktu seperti mazhab Hanbali.
