How should the congregation act if the imam's voice cuts out during the Friday prayer

Question:
We received many questions before the program began. Honorable Shaykh Salih, this brother S.A.M. says: We were praying the Friday prayer in the mosque on the upper floor, and when the imam rose from the first rak'ah, the sound cut out. We were rising from the bowing, and the sound did not return until the imam's closing salam. Do we have to complete a rak'ah so that it counts as the Friday prayer? Or do we have to pray it as the midday prayer because we did not catch a complete rak'ah with the imam?

Answer:
You caught a complete rak'ah with the imam, because the sound did not cut out until after the imam rose from the bowing in the first rak'ah. You bowed with him, which means you caught a rak'ah of the Friday prayer. Whoever catches a rak'ah of the Friday prayer has caught the Friday prayer. He adds another rak'ah to it, and he has caught the Friday prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So if you had appointed one of you to lead you to completion, or if each of you had completed it for himself, that would have been valid, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
