The ruling on the Friday prayer without a sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A khatib was late for the Friday prayer and did not attend, so he went ahead to the mosque and led the people in two rak'ahs aloud without a khutbah. What is the ruling on their prayer? And if they have already prayed, what is required of them now?
Answer:
This is a mistake, and their prayer is not valid. They must pray it as Zuhr, which is four rak'ahs. They are required to repeat it, because if the Friday prayer is missed, one prays in its place, not two rak'ahs. Two rak'ahs are only prayed with the two khutbahs. If the two khutbahs precede it, the Friday prayer is prayed as two rak'ahs. But if the two khutbahs did not precede it, it becomes Zuhr, and they must pray it as Zuhr, four rak'ahs. So they must repeat the Zuhr prayer.
