Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the imam limits the Eid prayer to a single sermon, is that to be disapproved of? And does he thereby commit a sin?

Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Some of the young people, or the pretentious, or the beginners in seeking knowledge, when they find one opinion among the opinions, they put it forward and cause confusion among the people. My brother, act according to what is practiced in the country. Do not cause confusion among the people. Do not show off that you are a scholar and that you have come across something they do not know. All of this is ignorance. It is not permissible to cause confusion among the people or to go against the practice of the Muslims in the country. Yes.
