Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I see many preachers in the two Eid sermons prolonging the sermon greatly.
Answer:
This is their occupation; they do not adhere to the Sunnah, and the Sunnah is not sufficient for them. They do not adhere to it. Rather, they do not even mention the rulings related to the sermon at every time as appropriate. They respond with general talk and styles that do not benefit the people and burden them, and they prolong it. This is contrary to the Sunnah. His (peace and blessings be upon him) sermons were few, blessed, and good words; he did not prolong the sermon. Yes.
