Ruling on speaking to the Friday preacher during the sermon for a need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to speak to the preacher on Friday if he makes a mistake in a verse, or if I want to ask him a question?

Answer:
There is no harm, there is nothing wrong with asking the preacher about certain matters, just as the Companions did with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was delivering the Friday sermon when a man came to him and said: “O Messenger of Allah, the wealth is ruined and the roads are cut off, so call upon Allah to send us relief.” He sought relief for the Muslims and asked Allah to send relief to the people (peace and blessings be upon him), and Allah sent them relief. On another occasion, a man came to him while he was preaching to the people and said: “O Messenger of Allah, a stranger has come asking about his religion; he does not know what his religion is.” So he (peace and blessings be upon him) came down, taught him, and then returned to his sermon (peace and blessings be upon him).

The intended meaning : It is permissible to ask about something while he is preaching, and there is no objection to responding to him if he makes a mistake in a verse; one should point it out to him. There is nothing wrong with that.
