Mentioning the news of a foundling in the Friday sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a foundling was found in our neighborhood near the waste containers. Is it permissible for the preacher to mention the news of this foundling in the Friday sermon, then comment on it and warn about the punishments for sins and unlawful sexual intercourse?
The Shaykh:
This is spreading the news of a shameful act and is not permissible. However, the foundling should be taken to the competent authorities in the state, as there is a specific department for foundlings. As for spreading it in the sermon and saying, "We found such and such," this is spreading the news of a shameful act and is not permissible.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the congregation.
The Shaykh:
I want to warn against unlawful sexual intercourse. Warn against it without this, warn against unlawful sexual intercourse in general and against its causes and means. Yes.
