The ruling on praying behind the imam if the microphone cuts out during the Friday prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
In one of the Fridays, we were praying in a private room when the microphone cut out. We waited a little while, and the imam was praying. We waited a little, then one of the congregants stepped forward and completed the prayer with us. What is the ruling on our prayer, and what should we do in such a situation?
If you were in the second rak'ah, there is no harm. But if you were still in the first rak'ah, you did not catch the Friday prayer, for the Friday prayer is not caught except by one rak'ah.By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Whoever catches one rak'ah of the prayer has caught the prayer) In this case, you are required to leave the private room to the open area, or wait until the imam says the taslim and then you pray Zuhr.
So, regarding what happened to him, we tell him: If they prayed the Friday prayer, they should complete the two rak'ahs, and they must repeat it as Zuhr, because it was not valid.And this is a rule: If the power cuts out in the second rak'ah, complete it, even if individually. Complete it as one rak'ah, because you caught the Friday prayer.
