Is it permissible to send a boy who misses the Friday prayer and sermon, under the pretext of illness, to deliver orders, knowing that selling is restricted to those who are not obligated to pray?
Friday prayer is not obligatory for women, by consensus.
Sending someone who is obligated to attend Friday prayer to deliver orders during the sermon is not permissible, because it condones his negligence of an obligation. Striving for prayer at the second call to prayer is obligatory, and buying and selling at that time is not permissible, due to the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, when [the is called] for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah, then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade."
The two young boys for whom Friday prayer has become obligatory must be treated like foreign men; therefore, being alone with them is not permissible, nor is displaying adornment in front of them.
