Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
Is the Jumu`a valid -in the Hanafi madhab- if the jumu`a is held by two imams i.e. a first one reads the khutba and then a second does the two rakat of prayers?
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
It is valid–though improper if without genuine excuse–for the Friday prayer to be led by other than the one who gave the Friday sermon (khutba). [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
