Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I prayed the Friday prayer in one of the countries, and I noticed that the khatib delivered three sermons, and that the attendees addressed the khatib, asked him questions, and he answered their questions.
Answer:
Three sermons are a bid'ah (religious innovation). The three sermons are a bid'ah. It is prescribed to have two sermons. Now, with those who say we should condemn those who deliver one sermon, this leads to three sermons. All of them are contrary to the Sunnah. Neither the one who limits it to one nor the one who increases it. Both the increase and the decrease are a bid'ah. It is not permissible. And it is not permissible to speak during the sermon, as mentioned previously. Yes.
