Is The Prayer Of A Person Who Misses Khutbah In Friday Prayer Valid?

Is the prayer of a person who misses khutbah in Friday prayer valid?

Khutbah is one of the conditions of validity of Friday prayer. A Friday prayer established without giving khutbah is not valid. For this reason, at least one man should be present while the khutbah is being delivered. However, it is not a must to catch and listen to the khutbah in order to establish Friday prayer. Therefore, the Friday prayer that is established by a person who missed or could not hear the khutbah due to an excuse will be valid . A person who misses khutbah completes his prayer by standing up and establishing one more rakat after imam gives salam even though he catches only the second rakat of Friday prayer (Ibn al-Humam, Fath, II, 63).
