The ruling on listening to the Eid sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Before answering the questions, there is no lesson tomorrow, Saturday, if Allah wills, so that you are not burdened with attending tomorrow.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, is it obligatory to listen to the Eid sermon?
The Shaykh:
No, the Eid sermon is not obligatory; it is recommended. It is not obligatory to listen to it or to sit for it. If one leaves, it does not contradict the ruling. If one leaves and does not delay it, there is no harm. Attending it and listening to it is recommended, not obligatory.
