Assalamu Alikum Mufti sab pray your well insah Allah Quick question If the person is not Aalim or Hafiz does he allowed to do khutba on Friday? Because in our community there's morthan 100s Aalim and Hafiz why Yusuf chambers doing khutba here? Pakistani mosque invites him to do khutba . Jazahkallah Khairan

If a non-Alim knows the basic requirements of the Friday khotbah, The Jumuʿah prayer with him delivering the khutbah will be valid.

However, since the khutbah and leading the prayer are religious duties, it is better to give preference to a qualified Alim over a non Alim. Therefore, for proper religious guidance the Friday khutbah and prayer should be performed by a Alim .
