Is it permissible for a ma'mum to address the imam, for example by correcting his recitation of a verse? Is this considered like the donkey carrying books?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible for a ma'mum to address the imam while he is delivering the khutbah, asking him about something, or correcting his recitation of a verse? Is this considered like the donkey carrying books?

Answer:
No, no, there is nothing wrong with speaking to the imam, except for the one who spoke to the imam or whom the imam spoke to. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the Friday khutbah when a man entered and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the wealth is ruined and the roads are cut off," to the end of the hadith. He asked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to call upon Allah to send us rain. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was speaking while delivering the khutbah, so the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for rain for them, and Allah the Exalted sent them rain.
In the second Friday, when the rains had become excessive, this man entered and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the wealth is ruined and the roads are cut off, so call upon Allah to hold it back from us." The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for the clouds to disperse, saying, "O Allah, around us and not upon us. O Allah, upon the mountains, the hills, the places where trees grow, and the bottoms of the valleys." The clouds dispersed, the clouds dispersed, the sun came out, and they went out walking in the sun.
This indicates that it is permissible for a ma'mum to speak to the imam regarding important matters. As for asking him about a poem, or about the poem of so-and-so, or about... this is not permissible.
