Reading the Haftarah according to the Rambam
Question
We are going on vacation for Shabbat, and we have no way to obtain the Prophet Isaiah. Is it possible to read the Haftarah 'Go and proclaim' (Jeremaiah) according to the decision of the Rambam (who does not hold that we read the seven Haftarot of consolation)?
Answer
Shalom!
You should always read according to your own custom. And if it is not possible to find the text of this prophet written on a scroll, you should read from a printed Tanakh.
