Is the Sunnah in the Eid sermon one sermon or two?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. What is the Sunnah in the Eid prayer? Does the preacher deliver two sermons or one?
The Shaykh : If your imam delivers two sermons, listen to him; and if he delivers one, listen to him. However, if this question were directed to me regarding an imam in the Eid prayer, I would issue a ruling based on what I consider correct. But as for asking about a matter where the people have followed one of two approaches, it is not appropriate—meaning, it is not appropriate to answer such a question.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : An imam asks between himself and me. As for me, I say: do what the people do; do not deviate from the people. Yes.
