Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I heard one of the students of knowledge say that if one delivers the Friday sermon with only the sermon of need, that sermon suffices. Is this correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct. The sermon has purposes and it has pillars. The sermon of need contains only the praise and eulogy of Allah and the two testimonies; it does not contain the other purposes of the sermon. It is not reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) limited himself to it. Yes.
