Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: Your Eminence, the Shaykh. The man who speaks while the imam is delivering the Friday sermon, reciting the remembrance of Allah or sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the imam mentions that in the sermon, or saying "Ameen" to the supplication. Is this considered speaking during the sermon? And what is prescribed and what is not prescribed for the congregation during the sermon?
The Shaykh : Yes. This is not considered speaking, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us an example of impactful speech, saying:. And you did not say to your companion, you are with your Lord, Mighty and Majestic. If the name of Allah is mentioned during the sermon and you say: Subhanahu (Glory be to Him), or if His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) is mentioned and you say: O Allah, send blessings upon him, or if a reward is mentioned and you say: I ask Allah for His bounty, or if a punishment is mentioned and you say: I seek refuge in Allah, then this does not fall under the forbidden speech. But is it recommended for a person to say it or not? I see that there is no harm in saying it. This is something that encourages the presence of his heart with the imam, unlike if he is distracted. But on the condition: that he does not disturb those around him. Yes, Riyadh.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Ask your question.
The questioner : The question consists of two parts, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No. It is actually two questions.
The Shaykh : Yes. This is not considered speaking, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us an example of impactful speech, saying:
If you say to your companion
إذا قلت لصاحبكThe questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Ask your question.
The questioner : The question consists of two parts, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No. It is actually two questions.
