Lengthening the sermon to meet the people's needs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, if the people need the sermon to be lengthened so that certain matters of religion become clear to them, and considering that the Friday sermon has now become the only source from which people receive their religious knowledge because they are preoccupied with worldly affairs, should we say that in this case it is better to lengthen the sermon to the extent of the need?
Answer:
You are not required to cover all matters of religion in a single sermon. Rather, explain some of them in this Friday's sermon, and likewise in the second Friday, and distribute them among the congregations. As for covering all matters of religion in one sermon, that is not possible. But choose the most important, you choose the most important, and distribute them among the congregations. Yes.
