Q 2: Some Khutaba' here (pl. of Khatib, preacher) in the field of Da`wah (Calling to Islam) recites the three Ayahs (Qur'anic verses) of Khutbat Al-Hajah (prelude to a Khutbah [sermon] or speech) in the normal way of reciting the Qur'an aloud, is this permissible? Some of them have even replaced the Ayah:
O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth.
With that mentioned in Surah Al-Hajj:
O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him!
What is your reply to them? May Allah reward you well!
A:
On Quoting an Ayah, it is to be recited in the same way as the Khutbah. With regards to reciting the Ayah in Surah Al-Hajj; there is no prohibition on doing this. Yet, it is not one of the Ayahs recited in Khutbat Al-Hajah..May Allah grant us success. May peace be upon our Master Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
