When is the Friday Prayer performed silently, and are there cases for that?

Reciting aloud in the Friday prayer is by consensus. If by "silent" is meant inaudible recitation, then performing the prayer in that manner is contrary to the Sunnah. However, if it means performing the prayer without any verbal utterance at all, then this invalidates the prayer, because one of the conditions for the validity of prayer is to verbally utter the obligatory dhikr therein.
