Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the khatib makes a mistake in his khutbah, should he be corrected and told: "You have made a mistake in front of the people"?
Answer:
If his mistake is clear and contradicts the Shari'ah, then he should be corrected with kind words.
However, if it is a minor mistake that causes no harm, such as a grammatical error or the like, it is not a problem.
But if he declares something forbidden to be lawful, or makes something obligatory that is not obligatory, then he should be shown the evidence from the Shari'ah; there is no harm in that.
