The Ruling on Saying Ameen and Sending Blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) During the Sermon

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says in his question: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever says, "Be quiet," while the imam is delivering the sermon, his prayer has become vain.من قال: اسكت والإمام يخطب فقد لغا
, so what is the ruling on saying Ameen and sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) aloud while the imam is delivering the sermon?

Answer:
It is the Sunnah for the believer to listen attentively during the sermon; he listens to the preacher and does not speak. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If you say to your companions: ‘Be quiet’ on a Friday while the Imam is delivering the sermon, you have engaged in Laghw (idle talk or behaviour).إذا قلت لصاحبك: أنصت يوم الجمعة والإمام يخطب فقد لغوت
Sunan Ibn Majah 1110Sahih (Darussalam)
. Therefore, it is not permissible for him to speak, nor to say, "Be quiet, so-and-so," or "Be silent, so-and-so." Rather, he should listen, but he may gesture. There is no harm in gesturing to the speaker to make him stop. However, he must not speak. The meaning of
you have wasted your timeفقد لغوت
is that the Friday prayer has become vain, meaning its virtue has been lost. Otherwise, the prayer remains valid, but he has missed the virtue.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
