The ruling on the condition that the khatib and the imam be the same person in Jumu'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Among the questions of the brother Ahmad Shā'ir al-Dīn is also a question in which he says: Is it valid for one person to deliver the khutbah on Friday and for another person to lead the prayer?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in that, especially in case of need, if the one who leads the prayer is unable to deliver the khutbah and there is someone stronger than him in delivering the khutbah, then there is no harm in one person delivering the khutbah and another person leading the Jumu'ah prayer. Yes. And it is better and more desirable that the one who takes charge of the khutbah also takes charge of the prayer; that is the better and the original practice, but in case of need, there is no harm in what the questioner mentioned. Yes.
The questioner:
Even if the khatib presents another person to the people out of respect for him to lead them in prayer.
The Shaykh:
In that case, if the one presented meets the conditions for being an imam, there is no harm in presenting him, especially if he brings a benefit to those present, if he brings a benefit to those present, yes.
