Fourth Condition: The
Khutbah
Law: For the Khutbah of Jummah (to be proper) the
following are conditions:
1. It must be within the (stipulated) Time.
2. It must be before the Namaaz.
3. It must be in the presence of such a Jama’at which is
conditional for Jummah, in other words with the exception of the Khateeb, there
should be a minimum of three (3) males.
4. It should be in a tone of voice that those nearby are
able to hear it, if there is nothing that hinders it (from being heard).
If the Khutbah is delivered before Zawaal or if it was delivered
(read) after the Namaaz, or if it was delivered when alone, or if it was delivered
(only) in the presence of women and children, then in all these cases the
Jummah is not valid. If it was delivered in the presence of deaf people or
those who are asleep, or if the audience are so far away that they cannot hear
(the Khutbah), or if it was delivered in the presence of Musafirs or sick
people (only), who are Aaqil and Baaligh males, then (in all these cases) it
(Jummah) will be done. [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.757/758]
Law: Khutbah is the name given to ‘Zikr-e-Ilaahi’
(Remembrance
and Praise to Allah), so even if اَلْحَمْدُ
لِلّٰہ or سُبْحٰنَ اللہ or لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ is sent
once, then just doing this will fulfil the Fard, but to just do only this alone
is Makruh. [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.758]
Law: If one said اَلْحَمْدُ
لِلّٰہ on sneezing, or if he said سُبْحٰنَ
اللہ or لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ due to
astonishment, the Fard will not be discharged. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.146]
Law: If there is a very lengthy gap between the
Khutbah and the Namaaz, then there Khutbah is not sufficient. [Durr-e-Mukhtar
vol.1 g.760]
Law: It is Sunnat to read (deliver) two Khutbahs
and they (both) should not be very lengthy. If both together become more than
the (length) of Tiwaal-e-Musafassal, it is regarded as being Makruh (to do
this), especially during the winter months. [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.757;
Ghuniya]
