The ruling on using the miswak during the Friday sermon

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on using the miswak during the Friday sermon? Is there a time when it is prohibited, such as during the 'Asr prayer or otherwise?

Answer:
During the time of the Friday sermon, whoever hears the imam is required to listen and cease movement. He does not speak or move without necessity; rather, he listens to the sermon and the remembrance of Allah, and he does not use the miswak, because using the miswak is a movement, and the miswak has another time for its use. It is not established that using the miswak is prohibited after 'Asr or after Zuhr, except for what is reported that it is disliked for the fasting person after the sun has passed its zenith, but the correct view is that it is not disliked, and that using the miswak is prescribed at all times, except for the time of listening to the sermon on Friday, because it is a movement. Other than that, it is prescribed at all times. Yes.
