Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that it is permissible for the imam to pause briefly at the mention of the Prophet so that the bilal and congregation may recite salawat together with him. The ruling is based on the conditions of the two sermons, as the practice does not invalidate them. It is also stated to be consistent with the hadith that forbids speaking while the imam is delivering the sermon.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
amalan imam berhenti sebentar pada perkataan junjungan kita untuk memperbolehkan bilal dan para makmum membaca shalawat bersama-sama imam adalah dibolehkan
