The Ruling on the Sermon on the Day of Sacrifice and the Lesser Pilgrimage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “I am among you as long as you do not go astray, if you hold fast to the Book of Allah in its fitrah (innate natural disposition) and at 'Arafah.” He informed them that they would never go astray as long as they held fast to the Book of Allah. Misguidance only comes when they turn away from the Book of Allah and are negligent. This indicates the legitimacy of the sermon on the Day of Sacrifice and on the Day of 'Arafah to educate the people and teach them the jurisprudence of Hajj and of their days of celebration. May Allah guide them all. Yes.
The questioner:
By Allah, if a group of young men went on a trip, would the leader of the trip give them a sermon?
The Shaykh:
It is a beautiful place. In the iron [area], meaning they have finished stoning the pillars and exited the state of ihram, so they gathered in their place to eat. Like any place, whether young men or young women. Because of my intention. If it is men, or if women are present and their guardians are available, he reminds them, and good comes to them. Fine, he takes this position, unlike the Imam and his deputy. If they gather in a tent and gather in the remembrance of Allah, some reminding others, fine, the one who has knowledge reminds them, may Allah reward him with good, for the people are in need of it. He says to me, “I recommend it.” Yes, if he has knowledge, he should remind his brothers. May Allah make it easy for him, if Allah wills, regarding the 'Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). On the Day of Sacrifice and on other days, at all times. Yes.
