The Shaykh : The hadith: This address is directed to others, whereas a person’s own speech does not incur this punishment for him. However, he should not be preoccupied with listening to the sermon. If someone were to say, “I intend to review a book,” we would tell him, “No, do not be preoccupied.” For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the man who entered and sat down: Sunan Ibn Majah 1114Da’if (Darussalam).
Some people ask, saying: For example, if I jot down some phrases from the sermon, does the warning apply to me? It appears that it does not, but it is not advisable, especially in our current time, because, praise be to Allah, recordings are now available, and you can refer to them after the prayer.
