Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Hello.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Hello.

The Shaykh : Yes, hello.

The questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And peace be upon you, people of Algeria.

The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.

The questioner : I am not from Algeria, I am from Jordan.

The Shaykh : From Jordan?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah.

The questioner : How are you?

The Shaykh : Usually there is a delay in the response, praise be to Allah, we are well.

The questioner : May Allah reassure you about them, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : You are welcome.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, we have a few questions we would like to ask you, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.

The questioner : Regarding the Friday sermon, when does the Friday sermon begin? Is it when the preacher ascends the pulpit, or when he begins the sermon?

The Shaykh : That is clear and not clear.

The questioner : I mean the actual Friday sermon, I mean when do people refrain from speaking, I mean all speech...

The Shaykh : This speech is not that speech.

The questioner : I meant this one.

The Shaykh : You meant it, but you did not express it well.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh :
When the preacher ascends the pulpit, there is no prayer and no speech إذا صعد الخطيب المنبر فلا صلاة ولا كلام
.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : The hadith is not authentic, but the authentic one is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
If you say to your companion on Friday while the imam is delivering the sermon: "Be silent," you have spoken in vain إذا قلت لصاحبك يوم الجمعة والإمام يخطب : أنصت ؛ فقد لغوت
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 7:78
.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : So the answer is: when he begins the sermon, not when he ascends.

The questioner : If he begins the sermon, that is it, no one speaks.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : If the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, a person has the right to speak to alert his companion, for example.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
