MENGGANTIKAN KHATIB YANG SEDANG MEMBACA KHUTBAH
Can a khatib who is in the middle of delivering the Friday sermon be replaced by someone else?
Short answer
A khatib may be replaced during the sermon as long as the gap between the two sermons is not long.
A reference, not a fatwa. First sentence of the summary below — read the original fatwa and consult your state authority before acting.

No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
A khatib may be replaced during the sermon as long as the gap between the two sermons is not long. If the khatib's ablution is nullified, he may resume after performing ablution. If the khatib faints, the sermon must be repeated by him or by his replacement.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Boleh, jika tidak panjang penceraian atau pemisahannya di antara dua (2) khutbah itu.
