Question

I was told that Imam abu hanifa had an opinion saying that jummah khutba could be in any language is that true? Another question is jummah without a khalifa valid or not as the sharait(essential requirements) of jummah have a lot to do with khalifat?

Answer

1. Therefore, to deliver the Khutbah in any language other than Arabic is strictly forbidden. (Umdatur Ridaaya, footnote Sharah Wiqaayah vol. 1 p. 200)
2. The importance of Jummu'ah warrants an important person like the Khalifah to perform Jummu'ah. However, Jummu'ah performed by any one else besides the Khalifah will also be valid.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
