Giving the khutbah in the local language
Question: 21708
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
The Friday khutbah is an act of worship which should not be done in the local language. But if there is no one present who speaks Arabic well, then it is OK to say what the people present will understand. If the people present do not understand Arabic then it is OK to translate what they need to know for them after the prayer, or to explain to them in their language what they need to know.
