Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Reciting verses in the Friday sermon?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : That is, it is not obligatory.
The Shaykh : There is scholarly disagreement on this. Some scholars say that one of the conditions for the validity of the sermon is reciting a verse from the Book of Allah, while others say it is not a condition; what matters is a sermon that revives the hearts, awakens the hearts, and benefits the servants. However, it must include praise of Allah, glorification of Him, and the tashahhud.
