What are the books that benefit the worshippers when read to them in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what books do you suggest for speaking to the congregation in the mosque, especially in Ramadan, particularly when the number of worshippers is large? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer : We advise reading books that contain both admonitions and fiqh rulings that the listeners can benefit from. Restricting oneself to books of admonition alone undoubtedly contains good, as it softens the hearts when a person listens to those admonitions. However, when he leaves, he has not gained any practical benefit.
As for the dry books that contain only the explanation of rulings, they are also dry books that benefit a person from a fiqh perspective, but they do not achieve the softening of the heart. Therefore, we hold that one should choose books that combine both. If you do not find a book that contains both, it is possible to read from two books: one book of admonition and one book of fiqh, so that the intended goal is achieved, if Allah wills.
