Question

Aslm. if after giving the khutba for juma my wudhu breaks before the juma salah, do I have to repeat the khutba or not? jzk

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykumwa-rahmatullāhiwa-barakātuh.

If the imāms wudhū broke after giving the khutba, he then made wudhū before the jumu’ah salāh. He can perform the jummu’ah salāh without repeating the jummu’ah khutba.[1]
