Q 6:
When the Khatib (preacher) mentions the name of Muhammad (peace be upon him) during the Khutbah (sermon), the worshippers say in a loud voice, "peace be upon him".
What is the Shari`ah ruling on doing this?
A:
One should listen attentively and avoid causing distractions when the Friday Khutbah is being delivered. If the Khatib invokes peace and blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him), the listeners should repeat it without raising their voices. (Part No. 8; Page No. 218) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
