Question:Is it possible to infer from the Quranic verse: (then proceed ˹diligently˺ to the remembrance of Allah and leave off ˹your˺ business....) a rule: The command of a thing necessitates the prohibition of its specific opposite, given that the sale is a specific opposite of the order to proceed to the remembrance of Allah?

Answer:In the name of Allah, the verse only forbids selling openly and also forbids other acts that could lead to distract others to prayer or worship Allah on Friday. The verse implies that it is necessary to go to hear the sermon, on Friday. Therefore, using the Quranic verse to enforce the rule 'The command of a thing necessitates the prohibition of its specific opposite ' is absolutely unclear. Allah knows best.
