Question:
If a person is found speaking during the sermon, or a child, should I order him to be silent? And is it permissible for me to put my hand over my mouth so that he understands the meaning and stops?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said As he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, so do not say to him "be quiet" or "shut up." However, if he makes a gesture to him, there is no harm. He puts his finger on his mouth as a sign to be silent; there is no harm in that, because this is not speech.
