Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the brothers say: Last week, one of the imams delivered a single sermon for the Friday prayer, then prayed two rak'ahs, and then the people left. They differed afterwards regarding the validity of this prayer. Should they repeat it and pray with this imam?
Answer:
Yes, they should repeat it as the midday prayer. One of the conditions of the Friday prayer is two sermons, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 6008 May Allah send blessings and peace upon him.
