What is the ruling on the khatib making du'a from the minbar on Friday at the end of every khutbah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our 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).
The questioner: Hehehe.
The Shaykh : Making it a fixed practice is a religious innovation (bid'ah), and the most severe form of this innovation is making du'a for kings. However, rulings change in cases of dire necessity (darurah), and dire necessity is estimated according to its extent. The one who is afflicted by it is the one who estimates it, and the one who eats sticks is not like the one who counts them.
