The Direction Towards the Speaker in Friday and Eid Prayers

Question
In the case of the Friday or Eid sermon, do the worshippers face the Qibla or the direction of the speaker according to our Hanafi scholars?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is recommended to face the speaker during the sermon, whether on Friday or during the two Eids, and it is permissible to face the Qibla direction. And God knows best.
