Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the last of this questioner's questions, he asks about the ruling on one who delivers the Friday sermon but does not lead them in prayer?
The Shaykh : There is no harm in one man delivering the sermon and another leading the prayer. This happens often; the regular imam may not be good at delivering the sermon, so he appoints someone to deliver it on his behalf, and then he leads the people in prayer himself. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh.
