Summary
Making supplication while the preacher is delivering the sermon is not permitted. The ruling relies on the hadith that even telling a companion to be quiet during the sermon renders one's Friday prayer void of its reward. The times for accepted supplication on Friday are wide, and the fatwa chooses the view that it is from after asr until sunset. It also encourages reciting Surah al-Kahf and sending abundant blessings upon the Prophet on Fridays.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh kerana itu, persoalan untuk berdoa ketika khatib sedang membaca khutbah adalah tidak dibolehkan.
