Lengthening the Friday sermon to spread knowledge when lessons are restricted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: In some Muslim countries, scholars are restricted from giving lessons. Therefore, the scholars take advantage of the Friday sermon and lengthen it significantly so that people can benefit from it. Is this action considered a necessity for spreading knowledge?
Answer:
Spreading knowledge is not done by lengthening the sermon; it is done through lessons. If lessons are not possible, include some of that content in the sermon, and do the same in the second Friday, and distribute it among the Fridays. That is, do not gather it all in one Friday. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
