Very concept of friction itself is to oppose motion. Hence, frictional force is always directed in the direction opposite to that to motion. When motion I mean, relative motion.

Dear Gulshan, the purpose of friction is to stop the motion of body, so in order to achieve that it acts opposite to the direction of motion of body at any instant. Also it appears only when body is moving or about to (when force is applied).
