Summary
Saying amen to the khatib's supplication during the Friday sermon is recommended according to all four schools, and it is treated as supplication outside the prayer. The manner differs: the Hanafi school says it silently in the heart, the Shafi'i school with a moderate voice that does not disturb others, and the Maliki and Hanbali schools quietly so that only the person himself hears it. The method of doing so must be observed so that it does not conflict with the etiquette of listening to the sermon. This article is an explanatory piece and not the official position of the Selangor Mufti.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
