What does the khatib do if he is unable to complete the khutbah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the khatib is suffering from an excuse after the first khutbah that prevents him from completing the khutbah, what should he do? Should he pray?
The Shaykh : This is an important question. It asks: If the khatib is unable to complete the khutbah during its delivery, does the second person complete it or restart it? Yes, the second person completes it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : In the mosque, yes, yes, because we did not stipulate that the prayer and the khutbah be from one person, so it is also obligatory to stipulate that the khutbah be from one person,
The Shaykh : but one khutbah, not two khutbahs. That is, if one person delivered the first khutbah and another delivered the second and a third prayed, this is valid. But this is in the case where an excuse overtook him during the first khutbah and he was unable to continue,
The questioner : the conditions of Jumu'ah, meaning all of them, meaning he performs Jumu'ah.
The Shaykh : The question: Answer without knowing. Yes.
The questioner : Yes, it is valid, it is valid.
The Shaykh : We will look for a place to discuss it, if Allah wills.
