Leading the Friday prayer by someone other than the preacher

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: The brother S. A. S. from Benghazi in Libya says in his question: Is it permissible for one man to deliver the Friday sermon and another man to lead the prayer? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

A: The majority of scholars held that it is not a condition for the Friday preacher to be the imam of its prayer, due to the lack of evidence for that. Some scholars differed on this and held that it is a condition for the Friday preacher to be the imam of its prayer.
The correct view is that there is no harm in that if there is a need for it, and success is from Allah.
