What is the ruling on Friday prayer in which the sermon begins without the Adhan, then the first Adhan is called, whereupon the worshippers stand for the Sunnah prayer before the Jumu'ah, then the second Adhan is called, then the Imam praises Allah and supplicates before the Iqamah for the prayer? Is it permissible to follow them and pray with them?

The Imam's separation between the two Friday sermons with an and two rak'ahs, followed by a second adhan, is not from the and does not align with the Hanafi . The Hanafis hold that the adhan precedes the two sermons, after which the preacher delivers two sermons and then prays. Accordingly, the prayer of these individuals is valid according to the Hanafis, as long as the preacher has fulfilled the condition of the sermon. A single sermon is obligatory, while two are sunnah, and the sermon, according to them, is fulfilled by a tahmid (praising Allah) with the intention of delivering a sermon.
