What the Imam Reads to the Congregation After the Afternoon Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am the imam of a mosque. Is it obligatory for me to read from the book *Tawhid* to the congregation daily during the afternoon prayer, or from *Al-Usool ath-Thalathah* (The Three Fundamental Principles)?
Answer:
The book *Tawhid* is fine; you can read it and explain it. And *Al-Usool ath-Thalathah* with its explanation is also fine. However, read to them from books of admonition and reminder, such as *Riyad as-Saliheen* (The Gardens of the Righteous) or *Al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib* (Encouragement and Warning) by Al-Mundhiri. Read to them hadiths of encouragement and warning, and admonition. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
