Some Bid`ahs related to the Friday Khutbah

448

Q 6: Is it an act of Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet) or a Bid`ah (innovation in religion) to recite Surah Al-Fatihah between the two Khutbahs (sermons) of the Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer?

A: As far as we know, reciting Al-Fatihah between the two Khutbahs of the Jumu`ah Prayer has not been confirmed from the Prophet (peace be upon him) nor from his Sahabah (Companions, may Allah be pleased with them). This means that reciting it between the two Khutbahs is a Bid`ah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
