When is ones dua accepted on Friday, before the quthbah, whilst the quthbah is on or after the quthbah
Question
and mufti what dua can be recited for a person to get a better job.
Answer
According to the Ahaadith, there is a specific time where the Du'aas of a person are accepted on the day of Jummu'ah. However, there is a difference of opinion amongst the scholars as to which is the correct and specific time. One such opinion is the time between the two Khutbahs. This opinion is supported by a narration in Muslim (vol.1 pg.181). Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) states that the time of acceptance is between the time when the Imaam sits on the Minbar uptil the termination of the Jummu'ah Salaat.
In light of the above, it will be permissible to make Du'aa between the two Khutbahs. However, since there are other Ahaadith preventing a person from doing any other action (physically or verbally) besides listening attentively to the Khutbah, it will not be permissible to make Du'aa verbally and by raising the hands. Instead, one should, without raising the hands, make Du'aa in his heart.
and Allah Ta'ala
Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
