The answer

What is mentioned contains violations of the , the most important of which is abandoning the continuity between the two sermons. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, maintained continuity in his sermon and separated them with a slight pause that did not break the continuity. Some scholars have gone so far as to consider the sermon invalid if its continuity is broken. Ibn Qudamah holds that continuity is a condition for the validity of the sermon, so if its parts are separated by speech or a long silence, it must be restarted. The sermon can be translated for those who do not speak Arabic after the prayer, and effort must be made to teach Arabic to those who do not know it, as it is the language of the Qur'an. And whoever is proficient in both languages does not sin by abandoning the sermon if the preacher is proficient in its pillars and conditions. The defect of abandoning continuity must be rectified.
