Summary
It is recommended to pause dhikr while the preacher delivers the sermon and to give full attention to its content. Worshippers who are too far away to hear the sermon clearly are recommended to recite dhikr quietly so as not to disturb others. This may be done without prayer beads or with a traditional or digital tasbih that causes no disturbance.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sunat memberhentikan seketika bacaan zikir apabila khatib sedang menyampaikan khutbah dan memberikan tumpuan sepenuhnya terhadap isi kandungan khutbah tersebut.
