The Friday prayer must be performed before the Asr prayer time enters, by shortening the sermon duration, as 55 minutes are sufficient for the sermon and prayer. One can suffice with the minimum required for the sermon and prayer to be achieved, such as a sermon that includes its pillars: praising Allah, sending blessings upon the Prophet, enjoining piety, reciting a verse, and supplicating for the believers, in order to avoid delaying the prayer beyond its time.
