What is the ruling on the khatib making du'a at the end of the Friday khutbah?

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, what is the ruling on the khatib making du'a on Friday at the end of the khutbah?

The Shaykh : Making it a fixed practice is a religious innovation (bid'ah); making it a fixed practice is a religious innovation (bid'ah). And the most severe form of this religious innovation (bid'ah) is making du'a for kings. However, rulings change in cases of dire necessity (darurah), and dire necessity (darurah) is measured by its extent. First, the one who is afflicted determines the dire necessity (darurah), and the one who eats sticks is not like the one who counts them.
