The Ruling on the Friday Prayer When the Imam Is Delayed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In your question, may Allah prolong your life, there are two questions. I heard. The first one is: The imam of the Friday prayer was delayed. The imam of the Friday prayer was delayed regarding the sermon, and I called the adhan and the iqamah for the prayer, and I prayed and recited al-Fatihah, as if I were praying the Friday prayer, as if I were praying the Friday prayer. They said, "Subhan Allah," and I prostrated the prostration for forgetfulness, and I stood up and prayed four units, completing two and I said the taslim. Then a man behind me said, "Let us complete our prayer." I said, "Complete your prayer; I have finished." Is there anything wrong with my prayer? This is the first question. The question.
The presenter:
I will think for a moment.
The Shaykh:
My brother, you made a mistake. Why, when the imam is delayed, do you pray Zuhr? You waited for the imam. Wait for the imam, or send someone to him, or have one of the people present deliver the sermon, and you pray Friday. Yes.
The presenter:
The second question.
The questioner:
I told you, may Allah prolong your life, I spoke and said that whoever is present is sufficient to stand and deliver the sermon. The people fell silent, and it became half an hour and we were waiting, and no one came to us.
The Shaykh:
If you are certain that the imam will not attend and there is no one who can deliver the sermon, pray it as the Zuhr prayer; there is no harm in that.
The presenter:
Praise be to Allah.
The questioner:
No, they prayed Zuhr behind me, and I, I prayed the two units and left.
The Shaykh:
No, no, do not pray Zuhr. You have to make up the Zuhr prayer.
The questioner:
Yes, they called me later and said, "Pray." I prayed at home.
The presenter:
All right.
The questioner:
Is there anything? The second question.
The Shaykh:
I prayed Zuhr, I prayed Zuhr at home.
The questioner:
Yes, you prayed Zuhr at your home.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it, yes.
The presenter:
Praise be to Allah.
