Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: By analogy with the recitation of Surat Qaf in the Friday sermon. Is it permissible to limit the Friday sermon to Surat al-'Asr because it is a comprehensive and sufficient surah?

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify what is to be recited from the Qur'an in the Friday sermon; he did not specify this. So if he recited from Surat Qaf, he did not recite it in its entirety; he recited from it in every Friday, or from it or from another surah, whatever suits the topic of the sermon. Whatever suits the topic of the sermon. Yes.
