The ruling on two people sharing the Friday sermon

The questioner : One person delivers the first sermon, a second person delivers the second sermon, and a third person leads the prayer. Yes.

The Shaykh : It is also permissible, because each of them is independent in itself.

The questioner : Yes, meaning it is not required that the preacher be the same? Why is that? Why is that?

The Shaykh : Nor is it required that the preacher and the imam be the same person.

The questioner : Yes. If there are two sermons, as long as there are two sermons.

The Shaykh : Did you name me?

The questioner : Yes, it is not required.

The Shaykh : The Friday prayer has two sermons, do you agree, Khalid?

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : One person delivered the first sermon, another the second, and the third led the prayer. Yes.

The questioner : I had an excuse, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : You exerted effort, it was not an excuse. But one person delivered the sermon and his voice was not pleasant, so he said, "Get up, so-and-so." Peace be upon you.

The questioner : This is difficult. Ha. It is a mess.

The Shaykh : No, it is not death, it is not reality, and we are with one who delivers the sermon to...

The questioner : As we say, the adhan does not allow two people to take it on; one person calls the adhan until the middle of it, then stops, and another takes over, because this is a legislated act of worship.

The Shaykh : If you say it is not valid, it is not valid.

The questioner : The first thing is that...

The Shaykh : And this is more preferable. Is it valid or not?

The questioner : It is not valid, it is not valid.

The Shaykh : As for us, we said this. The Sunnah now, we say it is valid or not valid; he says it is not valid and analogized it to the adhan. It does not appear.

The questioner : No, it is a worship in which one does not share.

The Shaykh : Yes. As for the prayer, it is more correct that the one who leads it is not the one who delivered the sermon, but the sermon...

The questioner : The statement that they are one pillar; if another person took over the second sermon, it is not valid.

The Shaykh : Yes, the turn is yours. Yes, we said it is valid. What we hesitated about was the single sermon if two men took it on. We said it is possible that if we analogize it to the adhan, it is not valid. But as for the second sermon, it is independent in any case; the two sermons and the prayer are valid.
