Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It was previously stated that one of the conditions for the validity of the Friday prayer is that it be preceded by two sermons. What is the evidence for this condition?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Very well.
The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray until he delivered the sermon.
The Shaykh : If someone were to say to you that this is an action, and an action does not indicate obligation, because the principle in our usul al-fiqh (principles of jurisprudence) is that a bare action does not indicate obligation, Faisal.
The questioner : The verse in Surat al-Jumu'ah[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9] Here the command is for obligation: "Hasten to the remembrance of Allah," which is the sermon. Therefore, one must hasten to this sermon.
The Shaykh : And hastening to it indicates. Yes.
The questioner : It indicates the obligation of hastening to it. Yes. It indicates the obligation of listening to this sermon. Yes. And the obligation of the sermon itself as well.
The Shaykh : The important point now: Does the obligation of the sermon indicate the obligation of the sermon?
The questioner : Yes, it indicates the obligation of the sermon. It indicates the obligation of the sermon, because Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) commanded hastening to it, so this is obligatory. And hastening to an obligatory thing is obligatory.
The Shaykh : Yes, and the questioner: The obligatory thing does not exist except for an obligatory thing. Very well, another piece of evidence?
The questioner : That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said He commanded that whoever speaks during the Friday prayer has wasted his Friday. This is evidence for the obligation.
The Shaykh : Meaning that whoever speaks while the imam is delivering the sermon has wasted it. Indeed, whoever says to his companion, "Be quiet on Friday," has wasted it. And the one who speaks is like a donkey carrying books. What is the aspect of the indication?
The questioner : The indication found is that this punishment is attached to the one who speaks or the one who commands a voice like this, which indicates the existence.
The Shaykh : Look at the sermon.
The questioner : A little bit of grinding.
The Shaykh : For the obligation of listening to it. Very well, so like the verse, is there a third piece of evidence from us?
The questioner : What is it? It is that if it were not preceded by that before it, it would become, and I am on the issue of the Friday prayer, where the woman is from listening to the doctors gathering the people.
The Shaykh : And reminding them. Yes.
The questioner : Likewise, the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) consistent practice, which was uninterrupted, indicates its obligation.
The Shaykh : Yes, this indicates its obligation by his saying (peace and blessings be upon him), "Pray as you have seen me praying," and he did not pray the Friday prayer except with a sermon. Very well, is this sufficient?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Very well.
The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray until he delivered the sermon.
The Shaykh : If someone were to say to you that this is an action, and an action does not indicate obligation, because the principle in our usul al-fiqh (principles of jurisprudence) is that a bare action does not indicate obligation, Faisal.
The questioner : The verse in Surat al-Jumu'ah
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah
أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِThe Shaykh : And hastening to it indicates. Yes.
The questioner : It indicates the obligation of hastening to it. Yes. It indicates the obligation of listening to this sermon. Yes. And the obligation of the sermon itself as well.
The Shaykh : The important point now: Does the obligation of the sermon indicate the obligation of the sermon?
The questioner : Yes, it indicates the obligation of the sermon. It indicates the obligation of the sermon, because Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) commanded hastening to it, so this is obligatory. And hastening to an obligatory thing is obligatory.
The Shaykh : Yes, and the questioner: The obligatory thing does not exist except for an obligatory thing. Very well, another piece of evidence?
The questioner : That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
So it indicated that
