The majority of scholars stipulate that the Friday sermon must be delivered after Zawāl (noon), while Imam Ahmad permits it to be delivered before Zawāl. The preferable and more cautious approach is not to deliver it before the sun's meridian. You can find out the time for Dhuhr prayer in your area in the United States online or through the Islamic Union of America's calendar to ensure the time has commenced.
