Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a young man who is seventeen years old, and I am in high school. I want to deliver the Friday sermon in one of the mosques. Is that permissible for me?
The Shaykh:
If you have the capability to preach, it is permissible for you to deliver the Friday sermon because you are able to do so. As for being prevented from doing so, we do not know what the reasons are. Perhaps there is someone more qualified than you to preach. But the answer to your question regarding permissibility is that it is permissible for you to deliver the Friday sermon if you are able to do so. Yes.
The questioner:
It seems he is asking whether a specific age is required for a man to preach?
The Shaykh:
There is no specific age. Yes.
