Is it required for the khatib to say, "O people, fear Allah"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The author says, O Salama, that it is a condition for the validity of the two sermons that one exhort to the fear of Allah. Is it necessary to say, "O people, fear Allah," or is it sufficient to say something that indicates the command to fear Allah? For example, "Do the commands of Allah the Exalted and avoid what Allah has forbidden."
The Shaykh : Or, "Obey Allah and His Messenger."
The Shaykh : Or, "Obey Allah and His Messenger."
