Is the Friday prayer valid if the preacher omits praising Allah in the second sermon?
Short answer
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the Friday prayer held at Masjid Sungai Rusa on 1 July 2016 was invalid, because the second sermon lacked a required pillar under the established position of the Shafi'i school, namely praising Allah.

Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the Friday prayer held at Masjid Sungai Rusa on 1 July 2016 was invalid, because the second sermon lacked a required pillar under the established position of the Shafi'i school, namely praising Allah. Three pillars, praising Allah, sending blessings upon the Prophet and urging piety, must be recited in both sermons. The other pillars are reciting one Quranic verse in one of the two sermons and supplicating for the believers. The congregants involved must perform the Zuhr prayer as a make-up prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
