The ruling on beginning the Friday sermon with a supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, the imam of the mosque always begins the Friday sermon by saying, “O Allah, O Teacher of Ibrahim, teach us, and O One who gave understanding to Isma'il, give us understanding.” What is your opinion of this supplication?
Answer:
The supplication is correct and good, but the Friday sermon begins with praise of Allah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to begin it with praise of Allah, so this practice should not be changed.
