Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I heard the questioner say: What is the ruling on the Friday sermon if the imam of the mosque is delayed, and there is no one among the people who is skilled in delivering the sermon? Do they pray Jumu'ah or Zuhr?
Answer:
The sermon is obligatory. If the imam is delayed, another one of the lecturers who is skilled in it should deliver the sermon, and they should pray on that day. If it is not feasible, they pray Zuhr. If the imam is not available, they pray Zuhr, four rak'ahs. However, if the imam is available but absent, the sermon is obligatory, and both sermons are also obligatory. If the imam is absent and it is not feasible, one of those present who is skilled in it should stand and deliver two sermons and pray Jumu'ah. Yes.
