Making up for the Jumu`ah Khutbah

527

Q: If a person misses the Khutbah (sermon) of the Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer, should he make up for it as he does when missing a Rak`ah (unit of Prayer) or not? Please advise. As-salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)

A: If a person arrives to the Jumu`ah Prayer after the end of the Khutbah, he should offer the two Rak`ahs with the Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer), and he does not have to make up for the Khutbah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
