Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the imam’s supplication at the end of the sermon considered part of the Friday sermon, such that it takes on its rulings?
Answer:
It is an adjunct to the Friday sermon, and it is a recommended practice (sunnah). Supplication is a recommended practice; it is not among the pillars of the sermon. It is a recommended practice: if he performs it, that is better; if he omits it, the sermon is valid.
