Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I attended a Friday sermon at one of the preachers, and when he began his sermon, he started inciting the common people to a political matter. So I stood up during the sermon, displayed my dislike for his sermon, and went to another mosque. Is my action correct?
Answer:
If his sermon contained no benefit and you went to another to benefit, then your action is good and required. Yes. But if his sermon contained benefit and good, but he erred in a detail of it, then listen, and that is enough; remind him after the prayer, remind him of this matter. Yes.
