Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is attending the two Friday sermons an obligatory matter, or is the obligation to listen if one is present?
Answer:
Yes, attending the two Friday sermons has a great virtue. They strive to remember Allah; they said that the remembrance of Allah is the sermon, so it has a great virtue. A person should not be negligent in it. He says, "As long as I catch the prayer, that is enough; I do not catch the sermon and the prayer." If you want the reward, yes.
