The ruling on the imam informing the congregation that he will recite Surat al-A'raf in the Maghrib prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does the imam inform the congregation that he will recite al-A'raf in the Maghrib prayer, either before praying with them or by putting up a notice to that effect?
The Shaykh:
Some people print a notice and put it on the doors. There is no need for this. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not announce it to them nor inform them of it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
He reminded them after some of the prayers or in his sermons, saying, "This is a sunnah (recommended practice), and we may do it at times to revive the sunnah." There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says:
The Shaykh:
Some people announce it two days before and put up notices. Yes.
