A person who enters the Masjid

Q: Is it permissible to offer Salah (Prayer) and talk while the Imam (the one who leads the congregational Prayer) is giving the Friday Khutbah (sermon)?

A: It is impermissible to talk while the Imam is giving the Friday Khutbah, unless a person is talking to the Imam himself for an urgent matter. It is also impermissible to offer Salah, except for those who enter during the Khutbah and want to offer Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid (two-unit Prayer to salute the mosque) and then sit down to listen to the Khutbah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
