Is it prescribed to deliver a lesson before the Friday sermon?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner asks: Is it prescribed to deliver a lesson before the Friday sermon?
The Shaykh : No, it is not prescribed, and this is a denounced religious innovation (bid'ah) about which one must forbid it. The Lawgiver is Wise, and He has established two sermons before the prayer for the admonition of the people. So there is no sermon before the prayer and no sermon after the prayer, except for what came from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).
But if the imam is known for doing this, that he comes with a sermon, then he should be advised. If he reforms, that is what is desired. If he does not reform, it is obligatory to report him to the responsible authorities. Yes, yes.
