Is it permissible for the imam to recite verses related to the topic of the sermon?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I gave a sermon on dutifulness to parents. Is it permissible for me to bring up the verses indicating the obligation of dutifulness to parents during the prayer?

The Shaykh:
No, you do not make the recitation of the prayer the place for the sermon. This is something some of the young people have innovated. You do not make the recitation of the prayer the topic of the sermon.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. And this questioner.

The Shaykh:
Whatever verses on the topic are easy for you to recall, mention them in the sermon, not in the prayer. Yes.
