Is one who prepares food to be served at the time of the Friday prayer sinful?
The comprehensive principle for the aforementioned issues is the prohibition of aiding in sin, based on the Almighty’s saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." From this perspective:
- It is forbidden to prepare and sell food to someone who will eat it during the day in Ramadan, even if they are a disbeliever, due to its involvement in causing sin and aiding in it.
- It is forbidden to sell to someone who is obligated to attend Friday prayer at the time of the call, because one who is not obligated to attend Friday prayer would be aiding the one who is obligated in sin.
- Accordingly, preparing food before the adhan for Friday prayer is not problematic unless it is known that it will be sold during the prohibited time. The apparent ruling is the prohibition of preparing food that is known to be sold or served during the prohibited time, due to its direct aid in sin.
