The ruling on raising the voice in the salutation upon the Prophet and the response to the imam's supplication in the Friday sermon

The questioner:
A long message was sent to the program by a questioner who used the letter "Alif" as a code for his name. He says: I love you in Allah, Honorable Shaykh, and I ask Allah for you a long life, health, and well-being in His obedience and His pleasure. Honorable Shaykh, in a past Friday, the imam of the mosque spoke in his sermon about what invalidates the Friday prayer. He mentioned that the salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he is mentioned during the sermon, must be done quietly and without raising the voice. He also mentioned that the congregation's response of "Ameen" to the preacher's supplication must also be quiet and that the voice should not be raised for it. Likewise, if the preacher says "Remember Allah," it is required not to raise the voice for that, but to do it quietly. In other words, the congregation, from the start of the Friday sermon until the iqamah for the prayer, must not be heard making any sound of "Ameen," supplication, salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or remembrance of Allah. Is this correct, and what is the guidance on this matter?
The Shaykh:
There is a distinction here. As for the salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), one should send salutations upon him at the beginning of the sermon and at the end of it, in the first and second sermons, when one hears his mention (peace and blessings be upon him). His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "The miser is the one whoAs-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:551," and Allah the Exalted says: [Al-Ahzab 33:56] As the preacher mentioned, may Allah guide him, that one should send salutations upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). That is permissible.
But without raising the voice. As for saying "Ameen" to the supplication and the remembrance of Allah, if they say "Remember Allah often" or "Remember Allah so that He remembers you," there is no harm in that, even if the voice is raised, because the sermon has ended. This supplication is not part of the sermon; rather, it is an accessory to the sermon and not part of it, but an accessory to it.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I mean, the salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) quietly by moving the lips.
The Shaykh:
Something they hear by mistake. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
