What concludes the first Friday sermon?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How does the first Friday sermon conclude? And is it permissible to end it by ordering the people to seek forgiveness?
The Shaykh : The Friday sermon, whether the first or the second, has no specific system. There is no valid sunnah (recommended practice) requiring the sermon to end with seeking forgiveness. A weak hadith (a report of the Prophet's words or deeds) was reported on this matter, and it is not permissible to act upon it as a sunnah. However, if one does so occasionally, there is nothing wrong with it, as this falls under general evidence. As for making it a necessary sunnah, it has no basis in the Sunnah. Yes.
