Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on translating the Friday sermon while it is being delivered?
Answer:
Simultaneous translation. There is nothing wrong with that. A fatwa has been issued regarding the sermon in the Sacred Precinct, because there are many people who do not understand the words of the preacher. So they translate it for them simultaneously. They place earphones in their ears to receive the translation. Yes.
