What is the ruling on recording the sermon and being occupied with devices during it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We ask this question? Abu 'Abdullah intended that being occupied with the khutbah is one thing, and being occupied with the khutbah is another. No, the one who is speaking. It is the same as Abu Layla. Abu Layla’s action today, did you see it, my Shaykh? He arrived late, roughly with the adhan. Yes. And he had his bag. The khatib started the Friday khutbah while he was following, extending the wires, and opening the box and the bag.
The Shaykh : And before that, I say it is permissible to step over the backs of people.
The questioner : I. My dear.
The Shaykh : It was a shepherd, meaning.
The questioner : Yes, indeed. So does this mean that the work, which is the good that he presents, may Allah reward him with good, in terms of.
The Shaykh : Upon you. Say, "Peace be upon you."
The questioner : If Allah wills. Peace be upon you, greet.
The Shaykh : But it is clever to say "Peace be upon you" on the phone. Our Shaykh al-Albani.
The questioner : You are wrong, my dear? By Allah, by Allah, you.
The Shaykh : I forgive you, go wash them and come back. What Allah willed.
The questioner : So is this justified for his eagerness to record the Friday khutbah from the knowledge and the benefits?
The Shaykh : By Allah, we do not hear from him what excuse he has.
The questioner : That he, may Allah reward him with good, for the sake of knowledge, my Shaykh, our Lord, Allah, meaning, many of the previous gatherings he attends and he is careful and gives, meaning, at the appropriate time before he steps over people’s necks and before he enters the mosque, and he starts extending the tapes and he is ready, as it should be, but this Friday caught my attention, meaning, a rare Friday, a rare Friday that happens.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : So does it mean that his day is better, he shortens, he does not record this khutbah now, today, on this day, or not? Or he does not do this action? Yes.
The Shaykh : We hear from him now.
The questioner : Of course, my Shaykh, I really, meaning, this week or today. And this Friday, that I was late. For reasons. Reasons from this week. From me, but I was late.
The Shaykh : What are these reasons?
The questioner : Yes, but I thought, of course, about the matter, should I stay or not record the khutbah? So I said the first thing is to record the khutbah. I record the khutbah so that some people benefit. And I got some. And among them, meaning, it was not yet, also good. The khatib had not yet spoken because it was during the adhan.
The Shaykh : I, yes.
The questioner : It was during the adhan, my Shaykh. So if you have a specific question, my Shaykh, that you want to ask me, I am ready to answer if I can.
The Shaykh : I made a mistake and I corrected it, no problem, good, meaning, you are prepared to answer, meaning.
The questioner : Please, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : But then I realized the matter and I said, what? If I can, what is written here?
The questioner : Surat al-Mulk and al-Nur. Yes.
The Shaykh : It is what we were reading, put it with you.
The questioner : We bring a recorder from the Shaykh.
The Shaykh : As for what you did today. Yes. Or rather, the least we can say, or what we are able to say, is that you should never return to such a thing again, neither in terms of being late, nor in terms of doing what you did if you are late, because the least that can be said about it is that it would be, if we assume you had an excuse, and the matter is of extreme delicacy, but if we assume you had a legitimate excuse, and peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings, what Allah willed, no harm in the qiblah on the right, it is better for me.
The questioner : Okay, go, this is in writing so that.
The Shaykh : Yes, if Allah wills, who is this? Welcome.
The questioner : From al-Albani.
The Shaykh : Al-Albani, what Allah willed, greet him there.
The questioner : Who am I? Abu Layla. The wealthy. Yes, come. Abu 'Abdullah. We continue, please, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : So the least that can be said is that you open, or you let people open their mouths, yes, and they speak and they take from your honor, you, yes, so to block this door, you count what you miss from recording the khutbah to Allah the Exalted.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : This is the least that can be said.
The presenter : Yes. Our Shaykh
