The ruling on raising one's voice in supplication and other matters during the Friday sermon

Question:
A message was received for the program from the Iraqi Republic, sent by a listener from there. His name is Kazim Jassim, and he asks and says: We know that idle talk in the mosque on Friday is not permissible, and whoever engages in it has no Friday prayer. However, we read the authentic hadith which states that the hour of response on Friday begins from when the preacher ascends the pulpit until he concludes the prayer with the taslim. So we make supplication during this time, and sometimes our voices are raised. Also, the preacher may mention the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we may send blessings upon him with a loud voice. Some people may also let out cries during the sermon when one of the righteous imams is mentioned, or when the sermon affects their emotions. I am hesitant to combine these things with the hadith that prohibits idle talk during the sermon. Is this considered idle talk? Please inform us of this. May Allah guide you.

Answer:
Supplication and sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are not idle talk. However, it should be done quietly between you and yourself; do not raise your voice. If you hear something that necessitates supplication, and you supplicate quietly between you and yourself, such as saying "Ameen" to a supplication or sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there is no harm in that. But it must be done with a low voice between you and your Lord, without disturbing those around you. If you listen attentively and say nothing, there is no blame on you, because you are commanded to listen. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and this is enjoining good and forbidding evil. Yet he (peace and blessings be upon him) called it idle talk. So you must listen to the sermon, benefit from it, and let your heart be admonished. But if you supplicate quietly when supplication is due, or send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) quietly, or say "Ameen" quietly, we hope there is no harm on you for that, because prayer is greater and such things are permissible in it.
The conclusion is that you say whatever supplications or send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) quietly between you and your Lord, without disturbing those around you. Those who raise their voices with cries are making a mistake; this is not permissible. Rather, it is obligatory for them to listen, hear, pay attention, and be polite during the sermon. Supplications that are hoped to be answered are possible quietly between you and yourself and your Lord when the imam sits, between the two sermons, and during the prostration of prayer. As for during the sermon, you listen and devote your heart to the sermon to benefit from it. If you say "Ameen" to a supplication or send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) quietly, we hope there is no harm on you for that, but with care for secrecy and not disturbing those around you. May Allah guide them all. Yes.

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