4a] Conditions, essential parts and Sunnahs of Jumu’ah khutbahs - http://aydnajimudeen.blogspot.com/

4a]
There are differences of opinion with regard to many of these minor
issues, the details of which are discussed elsewhere. But here we have
limited it to an overall discussion of that which all the Muslims need
to know.
However we should point out here the importance of paying attention to
thepeople's situation with regard to what the khutbah should contain.
The khateeb should give them what they need andnot talk to them about
things that they cannot understand or that they do not need to know of
religious issues.
Moreover he should not differ from what people are used to in their
khutbahs of remembranceof Allaah, supplication or other things that
are mustahabb in the khutbah, and for which there is no evidence that
they are essential in the khutbah. It is sufficient forthere to be
evidence that they are mustahabb or even allowed for him to do them.
And he should pay attention to the people's situation and needs.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, after
discussing what the Hanbali fuqaha' regard as essential in the Friday
khutbah:
Some of the scholars said that the basic condition ofthe khutbah is
that it should contain exhortation that softens the hearts and is
beneficial to the people present, and that praising Allaah, sending
blessings upon the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him)
and reciting a verse are all part of perfecting the khutbah.
But this opinion, althoughit carries some weight, need not be followed
if the people of this city follow the first view which the author
mentioned above, because if he omits these conditions which the author
has mentioned, the people will become confused and everyone will leave
Jumu'ah feeling that he has not prayed Jumu'ah, but if you fulfil
these conditions you will not be doing anything haraam.
Paying attention to the people with regard to anymatter that is not
haraamis the way of sharee'ah. The Prophet (blessings and peace of
Allaah be upon him) paid attention to his Companions with regard to
fasting and not fasting in Ramadan when travelling, and he paid
attention to them with regard to the rebuilding of the Ka'bah, when he
said to 'Aa'ishah: "Were it not that your people are still new in
Islam, I would have demolished the Ka'bah and rebuilt it on the
foundations of Ibraaheem." [Agreed upon] This principle is well known
in sharee'ah.
But if you go along with them with regard to something that is
haraam,this is called compromise and it is not permissible. Allaah
says (interpretationof the meaning): "They wish that you should
compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too)
wouldcompromise with you" [al-Qalam 68:9].

And Allaah knows best.
