What is the ruling on the Khatib

Q 5: is it permissible for a Friday preacher to discuss daily life issues in the Friday sermon? Q 6: Are the Shaykhs allowed to discuss political affairs?

A (5-6): A Friday preacher may discuss the urgent and important issues in his religious seminars and lessons to resolve the problems they face with wisdom and good instruction. The topic of the sermon, be it religious, political or didactic, should be useful to people. When the topic brings about Fitnah (sedition) or an evil that (Part No. 8; Page No. 231) overweighs or is equal to the benefit maintained, the topic should be overlooked to escape bad consequences.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
