The seventh question of Fatwa No. ( 14770 )
Q 7: Is it permissible for me to perform voluntary prayer on Friday while the imam is delivering the sermon?
A 7: If you enter the mosque on Friday while the imam is delivering the sermon, you should perform the greeting of the mosque, then sit and listen to the sermon. If you were already sitting in the mosque before the imam entered, you should not stand up during the sermon to perform voluntary prayer; because you are required to listen, pay attention, and not be occupied with anything other than the sermon. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
