Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If it is the Sunnah for the sermon to be short and the prayer to be long, and it is well known that the Sunnah for the Friday prayer is to recite al-A'la and al-Ghashiyyah, does that mean the length of the sermon should be less than the length of reciting al-A'la and al-Ghashiyyah?
Answer:
It is not just al-A'la and al-Ghashiyyah. In the Friday prayer, there is the opening, and there is reciting al-Fatihah, and there is reciting al-A'la and al-Ghashiyyah, and there is bowing, and there is prostration, and there is sitting for the tashahhud. It is not just al-A'la and al-Ghashiyyah. Yes.
