Responding to the du'â of the Khatîb during the Friday Sermon

[Yusuf.McNulty.al.Irlandee]

الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله

I had previously translated some speech of Shaykh al-Albaanee from his footnotes to Subulus-Salaam of Imaam as-San'aanee regarding this ruling. Except that after some time I realised that al-Maktabatul-Ma'aarif (who have the copyrights to the Shaykh's books) print in the front of all of their books that it is not allowed for anyone to reproduce any part of the book in any form, including translation, unless you obtain a handwritten permission from the Maktabah themselves. After seeing this I decided to take the post down and would like to highlight this point to the other brothers and sisters who actively translate that they should pay attention to this and check any copyright issues before translating and posting on the Internet. Wa bil-llaahit-tawfeeq.

However Shaykh al-Albaanee confirms the position made by Shaykh Muqbil above and mentions that if telling someone to be quiet during the khutbah (which is considered enjoining the good and forbidding the evil) is not allowed, then the ruling of sending salaah upon the Messenger, responding the peoples salaam, etc, should all be the same (i.e. it's not allowed whilst the khutbah is being delivered).

Wal-Hamdu lil-llaahi Rabbil-'Aalameen.
