Summary
The prohibition on trading on Friday begins with the second call to prayer, when the khatib ascends the pulpit, and trading then is haram by agreement of the four schools. In the time of the Prophet SAW there was only one Friday call, and the first call was added in the time of Uthman R.A because the number of worshippers grew. Some Hanafi scholars held that the prohibition starts from the first call or after the sun passes its zenith, but most of them held it is the second call. Sellers and buyers are advised not to trade, eat or drink in the mosque grounds during the second call, and to already be inside the mosque at the first call.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami tegaskan di sini bahawa apabila azan yang kedua, maka tidak dibenarkan lagi jual beli kerana ia bercanggah dengan nas yang sahih.
