Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I prayed the Friday prayer in one of the countries, and I noticed that the khatib delivered three sermons, and that the attendees address the khatib and ask him questions, and he answers their questions.
Answer:
Three sermons, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Three sermons, this is a bid'ah. What is prescribed is two sermons. We disapprove of those who say one sermon, and this is obligatory: three sermons. All of them are deviating from the Sunnah. Neither the one who insists on one nor the one who adds more. Both the addition and the reduction are bid'ah. It is not permissible. And it is not permissible to speak during the sermon, as mentioned previously. Yes.
