What is the ruling on delivering a sermon or commenting on the khutbah after the Friday prayer?

Question : After the Friday prayer. Or another person delivers a sermon or comments on the khutbah, and the reason for this, according to them, is that they are waiting for an opportunity to gather the people on this day. Is their action correct?

Answer : The answer is no, it is not correct. If the topic requires lengthening, it should be divided between one Friday and the next, and one should not comment on it after the Friday prayer, nor bring up a new topic, nor speak after the Friday prayer. What some people have become accustomed to doing today is something that is forbidden. Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If one speaks after the Friday prayer, no one should listen to him, except if the book is from one who has authority and a voice (may Allah have mercy on him), because if you listen to him, it means you have made the Friday khutbah how many? Three khutbahs, and this is not correct. And if the topic requires lengthening, it should be divided between this Friday and the next Friday.
