Can others lead Friday prayer according to fatwa
The fatwa addressed the ruling on leading the Friday prayer by someone other than the preacher (khateeb). The Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta clarified that it is preferable for the Imam to be the khateeb, provided that he meets all the required conditions. However, if there is a legitimate excuse preventing the Imam from leading the prayer, then it is permissible for someone else to lead. The scholars have different opinions regarding the condition that the Imam must be the khateeb, with an emphasis that appointing someone else due to a valid reason is acceptable and that the Friday prayer remains valid. The statement also indicated that missing the Friday prayer twice in a row without a legitimate excuse is considered a sin and requires repentance, but it does not nullify one's Islam. It is better for the Imam to be a knowledgeable and competent scholar. If an excuse arises, the prayer remains valid when someone other than the usual Imam leads.
