TWO KHUTBAH

6.1.1 Obligatory condition for khutba

to say "الحمد لله", even if include within a verse, such as saying : "Praise be allah who created the heaven and earth" .provided the khatib 's invention is the invention . If he intends Quran recital, or invention and Quran recital together , or he makes no particular intention ,then it counts only as Quran recital and not praising Allah Jaber narrated "When the prophet gave the khutba of Friday prayer, he us to thank ( say alhamdu lillah ) and prise Allah then address us.[1]
Say blessing upon the prophet. It is recommended to say the blessing on the folk and companions of the prophet. It is obligatory to say the above in order to say the blessing on the prophet after saying " al-hahmdu lillah "

3.To enjoin takwa ( God-consciousness ), for the above mentioned hadith of jabber and because it is the most important objective of the khutba , no particular expression is prescribed ,yet it is sufficient for the imam to say , " Obey Allah or, fear Allah. " it is not enough for him to limit himself to warn people from the delusion of this world and its adornments, for even non-believers may warn of the same, rate he must motivate them to show obedience and warn them of commiting sin.

To recite ayah of Quran that conveys an intended meaning,[2] in at last one of the two khutba. It is pretferred for it to be in the first, in order to correspond with the supplication in the second, so that there are four obligatory acts in khutba. It is recommended to recite Qaf (Quran, 50) for Umm Hisham bint haritha ibn Al Nu'man narrated: "Sura Qaf ; By the Glorius Quran' was learned from the messenger of Allah, He used to recite it every Friday when addressing the people while standing minbar."[3]
To make du'a for believer, male and female, in the second of two khutba and it does not count if he does so in the first. It is valid if he makes du'a for the attendants only, thogh it is best to include all the believers in his supplication. It is not recommended to make du'a for the ruler by name. in fact it is makrooh according to Shaf'I . It is not permissible to praise the ruler with what he is not, though it is sunna to make du'a for the Muslim rulers and governor to attain righteousness and help in fulfilling the truth and upholding justice.

6.1.2 CONDITION FOR THE TWO KHUTBA

That there be a minimum of forty participants
That they take place during the time of thuhr. Therefore, it is not valid for the imam to give the khutba or part of them before giving them, because they are a necessary condition for the validity of the prayer and a condition comes first.
Purity from najasa in body, clothed and place, Also, purity of the minbar and what the imam carries such as a sword, crutch, or the like. It is absolutely unacceptably unacceptable for the imam to have najasa under his feet or hands. However, it does not matter if after the khutba one finds out that the imam had nonvisible najasa upon him.
That the khatib's awra be covered, because the two khutba are like two rak'as.
That the khatib be standing during the khutba, if able, for the above mentioned hadith of Jaber ibn Samura. If he becomes unable to stand then it is recommended that he choose a successor, though, as in prayer, it is valid if he sits, when unable to stand, lies on his when unable to sit, lies back when unable to lie on his side. If after the prayer it turns out he was able to stand, the prayer of the participants is valid, if they are forty without him, otherwise it is not, In both cases, the khatib's Friday prayer is not valid.
That the khutba voice loud enough for the forty required participants to hear. [4]Jaber ibn Abdullah said when describing the Prophet's khutba "…And his voice would rise."[5] It is not valid if he speaks softly to himself, or they attend without being able to hear because of deafness, distance, or sleep.
That the two khutba be in Arabic, if there is an Arab in the congregation, otherwise, it is valid for it not be on Arabic except the Quran which must be in Arabic, One person of the congregation, must learn Arabic for if not all are sinful and their Friday prayer is not valid with the ability of one of them to learn.
That the khatib sits briefly for at least a moment between the two khutba, for the above mentioned hadith of jaber, though it is recommended that he sits as long as it takes to read Al-Ikhlas ( Quran ,112 ), and to recite it therein. Of he gives the khutba while sitting, being unable to stand, r is obligatory that he pause between the two, and it is not permissible to lie down.
