Ruling on translating the Friday sermon after it has been delivered in Arabic
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a caller to the program who says in his first question: Is it permissible for the khatib, when he ascends the minbar, to deliver the sermon in Arabic and then repeat the translation in some other languages on the minbar? Given that most of the worshippers do not understand the Arabic language, O Shaykh.
Answer:
This is better, if Allah wills. He should deliver the sermon in Arabic and explain it to the attendees in their language that they understand, if most of them do not understand or comprehend the Arabic language; so that they may derive benefit. He should clarify and explain to them the important matters in the sermon that benefit them, so that they may derive benefit from the sermon. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
