The sermon and the prayer on Friday being led by two people
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In our country, and on a regular basis, when the Friday preacher finishes his sermon, one of the memorizers of the Qur'an is brought forward to lead us in the prayer. This happens every Friday. Is this practice valid?
Answer:
It is permissible. This is what is required: that one person should not be obligated to perform both the sermon and the prayer. It is permissible for one person to deliver the sermon and another to lead the prayer if there is a need. If there is no need, this should not be done; it should be performed by one person. Yes.
