What is the ruling on one who intentionally goes to the Friday prayer and enters the mosque after the sermon has ended, believing that the sermon is useless because it contradicts his madhhab?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to be absent from the Friday sermon except for a legitimate excuse. The Imam's divergence from the adopted (school of thought) is not a legitimate excuse that permits absence from it. Whoever is absent for that reason is sinful.
