It is permissible to leave a person not addressed by the Friday prayer, such as a non-believer, at the shop for selling during the prayer. This is because the prohibition of selling and the obligation to hasten [to the prayer] are specific to those addressed by the Friday prayer, and the prohibition does not apply to those not addressed by it.
