Waking the Sleeper During the Friday Sermon

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person falls asleep during the Friday sermon and his sleep causes discomfort to the person next to him because of his loud snoring, is it permissible for the person next to him to wake him by speaking or by moving his hand so that he wakes up?

Answer:
Speaking, no. But he may move him so that he wakes up. There may be no harm in that out of necessity. As for speaking, no. Yes.
