The ruling on the validity of the Friday prayer when the sermon is invalid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The honorable scholar’s statement that the students’ position on the conditions for the validity of the Friday sermon is limited to the sermon itself and does not extend to the validity of the Friday prayer.
Answer:
If the sermon is not valid, the Friday prayer is not valid, because the Friday prayer is based on the validity of the two sermons. If the two sermons are invalid, the Friday prayer is invalid, and it becomes the Zuhr prayer. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
