The ruling on delivering a sermon between the tarawih prayers in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We have in Kuwait a sermon after four rak'ahs of the night prayer. Is this permissible? And if it is permissible, how should this sermon be conducted?
What I see is that it should not be done,First: because it is not the way of the Salaf.
Second: Some people may wish to come for the tahajjud prayer and then return to their homes, and this causes obstruction and boredom for them, and compels them to this sermon. If the sermon is not well received, its harm is greater than its benefit. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would vary his sermons to his Companions and not burden them with repetition. So I see that leaving it out is better. If the imam wishes to preach to the people, let him do so at the very end, after the prayer has completely finished, so that the people are acting of their own choice: if they wish, they stay, and if they wish, they leave.
