The Ruling on Speaking During the Friday Sermon for Necessity
During the Friday sermon, the muezzin speaks about organizational matters such as wearing masks, social distancing, and other issues. Does this invalidate the Friday prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for the preacher to speak about such matters, and it does not invalidate the sermon or the prayer, and God knows best.
