Assalamualaikum? I am Indian live in Saudi Arabia, Is it permissible during Jumah Khutbah (Translating in Urdu language – giving bayan) at same time for the same community people? Kindly explain with authentic hadith and attend for further Jumah Salah there?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is impermissible for any part of the Jumuah khutbah to be in any language other than Arabic. [i] If the Imam wishes to explain the contents of the khutbah or to advise the congregation, he may do so before the khutbah.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
