The answer

The two most preponderant opinions regarding the hour of response on Friday are: The first is after Asr until sunset for those awaiting the Maghrib prayer. The second is from the Imam's sitting on the minbar for the sermon until the prayer concludes. These are its most likely hours. And among the times of response in all prayers is during prostration, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The closest a servant is to his Lord is while he is prostrating, so increase your supplication." And he said: "As for prostration, strive in supplication, for it is worthy of being answered for you."
