Is it an anomaly to have only one sermon for the festival?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a person was afflicted with an illness. And what is the question that says? It says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned one sermon for the prayer for rain and for the festival. And you were asked last week about the one who preaches one sermon for the festival, so you mentioned that this is an anomaly of some who deviate. What is the truth in that?

Answer:
Yes, it is so. The festival has two sermons, but they are recommended. The Friday prayer has two sermons, but they are conditions for its validity. There is a difference between the two sermons of Friday and the two sermons of the festivals. The Friday sermons are conditions for the validity of the Friday prayer, whereas the two sermons of the festivals are recommended and not obligatory. But whoever preaches and follows the Sunnah delivers the two sermons to complete the Sunnah and does not shorten them. Yes.
