What do the worshippers do if the khatib is absent on Friday and there is no one among them to take his place?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the imam does not attend on Friday, and no one among the people volunteers to lead the prayer and deliver the sermon, what do they do? Do they pray it as Zuhr?

The Shaykh:
If he does not attend.

The questioner:
If the imam does not attend on Friday and no one among the people volunteers to lead the prayer and deliver the sermon, what do they do?

The Shaykh:
They should contact the imam if it is possible to reach him and he is nearby; they contact him. Today, praise be to Allah, mobile phones and telephones answer for you, so they contact him. If he has no excuse, or if he is sick or traveling, they should say to one of the congregation who is good at delivering sermons: "Seek reward from Allah and deliver the sermon, for the imam is not present." They will not fail, if Allah wills, to find someone in the mosque to deliver the sermon, especially in this time, praise be to Allah, where scholars and students of knowledge have become numerous. But if it happens that no one is available, they pray it as Zuhr. Yes.
