Reciting Surah Kahf on the eve of Friday
Question
I have been reading Surah Kahaf on the eve of Friday (ie. before the time of Fajr). However I have been informed that Surah Kahaf should be read after sunrise on a Friday. Is this correct and is there any Hadith to substantiate this?
Answer
It can be recited on the eve of Friday after sunset or on the day of Friday.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
