Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is it permissible for one person to deliver the sermon and another to lead the people in prayer, and what is the best course in this? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The best course in this is for one person to handle both; the one who leads the prayer should be the one who delivered the sermon. It is permissible, however, for one person to deliver the sermon and another to lead the prayer. There is no harm in this when there is a need, and the matter is broad in this regard, and praise be to Allah. But the best is for one person to handle both, if that is possible. Yes.
