Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, for the sake of benefit: the current time, I mean, how many minutes should the preacher's sermon be for us to say that it is in accordance with the Sunnah?
The Shaykh : Do you mean the length of the sermon?
The questioner : Yes, the length of the sermon, yes.
The Shaykh : How long is the prayer?
The questioner : I mean, about ten minutes.
The student : And Shaykh Murad mentioned it today on the pulpit.
The Shaykh : According to the prayer, who?
The student : Shaykh Murad.
The Shaykh : So what did he say?
The student : That there is a lesson, I mean, longer than this, but there is no room to make the sermon except small.
The Shaykh: Good.
The questioner I mean, is the time of the prayer longer than the time of the sermon? Perhaps I remember that I said in the past, no, this is a relative matter, I mean, it is long in the prayer and short in the sermon?
The Shaykh : ... like this, I mean, the sermon should not be longer than the prayer.
The questioner : But the reality is different from this with all the preachers.
The Shaykh : I tell you, it is not permissible for the sermon to be longer than the prayer.
The questioner : Minutes, I mean, is that not so?
The student : Shaykh Mustafa, only five minutes... better, then it becomes cold, not good.
The Shaykh : As for the time, it is regulated by the clock, of course.
The questioner : I mean, if the prayer is ten minutes, the sermon should be eight, for example.
The Shaykh : Yes, and the one who wants to separate after the prayer.
The questioner : So we say: I mean, the very little except.
The student : All of us, no, no, all of us are contrary to this.
Another student: Glory be to Allah, the very little is... .
The Shaykh : But you have stopped and approximated, many people do not lengthen in the prayer, they shorten the prayer.
The questioner : We recite Subhan and Hal Ataka as it was reported in the hadith.
The Shaykh : Yes, but with slowness and lengthening the bowing and prostration and what is between them.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : The time will be long... .
