The questioner : The honorable Shaykh says. I saw some of the brothers.
The Shaykh : I saw.
The questioner : I saw some of the brothers summarizing the Friday sermon while you are delivering it, may Allah preserve you and protect you and prolong your life in His obedience. Is this action of his correct?
The Shaykh : This action is not correct, because if he summarizes one sentence, he misses the other sentence, or he summarizes it incorrectly. So it is not permissible for a person to summarize the Friday sermon. But here is something less severe than this. What is it? The recorder, praise be to Allah, brings the recorder, and there are very small recorders, yes, and he records. And when he goes home, he summarizes whatever he wants.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Neither little nor much, do not write. Yes.
