The preacher leaving during the sermon and then returning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If something happens to the preacher during the first sermon, and he descends from the pulpit and leaves the mosque, then returns. I say: if something happens to the preacher and he leaves the mosque, whether for a sudden need, and then he returns to the pulpit and resumes the sermon, does he start it over from the beginning, or does he continue from where he stopped?
Answer:
The closer view is that if the interruption was brief, he does not start over; if the interval was long, he starts over; and if the interval was short in his estimation, it is sufficient for him to deliver the second sermon. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah keep you safe.
