Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh, do we say "Ameen" after the supplication, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Which supplication?
The questioner : The khatib's supplication, when he calls upon Allah.
The Shaykh :"Can the shadow be straight while the stick is crooked?" The khatib's supplication is a religious innovation, and whatever is built upon a religious innovation is a religious innovation!
The questioner : If he says, "Seek forgiveness from Allah."
The Shaykh : It is not from the Sunnah. If we could do it in a known manner, it would be... we would omit it.
The questioner : ...a word.
The Shaykh : I mean, if we were in that era, we would say it, but our time today does not support this.
