The Ruling on Speaking During the Friday Sermon

Question:
What is the ruling on one who speaks while the imam is delivering the sermon, and is his prayer valid?

Answer:
The Friday prayer. Yes, if he speaks while the imam is delivering the sermon, he has no Friday prayer, meaning he receives no reward. It does not mean that his Friday prayer is invalid, but it means that he has no reward for that. The one who speaks on Friday day, as in the hadith , meaning he is burdened with no reward. And the one who tells him to be quiet is the same; the one who tells him to be quiet has no Friday prayer, meaning he has nothing of the reward. And this is forbidden, except for the one whom the imam spoke to, or if he spoke to the imam out of necessity, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
