The Equivalence of the Festival Sermon with the Friday Sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the recommended practice (sunnah) regarding the festival sermon? Does it begin with the takbir? Or does it begin with the sermon of need? Is it a single sermon without a brief sitting? Or is it like the Friday sermon, where it is recommended to sit between the two sermons?
Answer:
The prescribed practice for the festival is two sermons, just as in the Friday prayer. It is prescribed that each sermon begins with praise, praising Allah, extolling Him, sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the two testimonies: the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. This applies to the Friday prayer and the two festivals. All of them begin with praising Allah, extolling Him, testifying to Allah’s oneness, testifying to the Prophet’s messengership, and sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then, the people are admonished and reminded, both on Friday and on the festival. Yes.
