Does the festival have two sermons or one?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, regarding the festival sermon, does the festival have two sermons or one?
The Shaykh : One.
The questioner : What is the evidence?
The Shaykh : The evidence is that when the Companions spoke about the sermon of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), they did not speak of it as they spoke of the Friday sermon. When a person says, "So-and-so delivered a sermon," it is possible that this is understood to mean he delivered two sermons. Conversely, if he had delivered two sermons and the witness said only, "He delivered a sermon," he would be deficient in his expression. The Companions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) are believed to be the opposite of this.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: Is it clear?
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
The Shaykh : One.
