Is it permissible to complete a sale or purchase immediately after the Adhan?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Buying and selling are prohibited after the second call to prayer (adhan) on Friday until the prayer is over, based on the Almighty's saying: (O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is proclaimed for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah, then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade). This sale is void and has no legal effect. As for other prayers, there is no harm in it, provided it does not distract from congregational prayer. However, it is more cautious to avoid it after the adhan, unless for something minor that does not distract from the prayer.
