Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee ruled that congregants must listen to and reflect on the Friday sermon fully. Moving the collection box during the sermon is permissible on condition that it does not prevent congregants from hearing the sermon. Proceeds are to be used for the mosque's benefit, such as water and electricity bills, activities, development and maintenance. Officers handling the box or multimedia must ensure they do not hinder congregants from hearing and understanding the sermon.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
