The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you. A man came on Friday while the imam was delivering the sermon.
The Shaykh : Yes, and who is asking? Yes.
The questioner : And the mosque is full, Shaykh... so he prayed with the people outside the mosque. Should he sit, or should he listen to the sermon?
The Shaykh : He should sit.
The questioner : Does he not pray two rak'ahs?
The Shaykh : No. Why would he pray two rak'ahs? He is not in the mosque now.
The questioner : The rows are connected, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The prayer is valid, meaning: it is permissible to follow them, but it is not said: this is a mosque. The Messenger of Allah did not say: "Whoever comes to a congregation should not sit until he prays two rak'ahs," but rather he said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1012Sahih (Darussalam) Do you understand the difference between the two expressions?
The questioner : The other rulings of Friday apply if he speaks...
The Shaykh : He should not speak, even if he is walking in the market and has not yet reached the mosque, and he intends this mosque, it is not permissible for him to speak while the imam is delivering the sermon. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you, what is the ruling on saying...
The Shaykh : No, no, we agreed to proceed in order, because some of them objected to us in the previous session, and you were not present.

The Shaykh : Wait, those who came for the course only.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : ... always present.
The questioner : A man missed the prayer...
The Shaykh : Let those who prefer themselves over others be patient, yes, come on, my brother.
The Shaykh : Yes, and who is asking? Yes.
The questioner : And the mosque is full, Shaykh... so he prayed with the people outside the mosque. Should he sit, or should he listen to the sermon?
