Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: In our country, Shaykh, only one khutbah is held for the 'Id prayer. Is this contrary to the Shari'ah?
Answer:
It is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes, this is contrary to the Sunnah. Now they have even started reducing the Friday prayer to one khutbah. So do not be surprised by these anomalies; these anomalies are happening now. This is the beginning of evil, division within the Ummah, and confusion for the people. Yes.
