There is no Sunnah Ratibah (supererogatory

Q 2: It is well-established in the Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet) that any action performed during the Friday Khutbah (sermon) is considered mistaken. If someone wishes to record the Khutbah, is this action considered mistaken?

A: Firstly: It is not well-established in the Sunnah that any action done in the Masjid (mosque) during the Friday Khutbah is considered mistaken, as offering Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid (two-unit Prayer to salute the mosque) is a permissible act during the Friday Khutbah. Also, anyone in the Masjid can ask the Khatib (preacher) delivering the Khutbah a question, and answer him if he asks them a question or discuss any Islamic matter with him.Secondly: Recording the Friday Khutbah is not considered to be a mistaken act that makes someone turning on a recorder and facing it in the direction of the Imam a sinner. This is because recording can be carried out without the owner of the recorder talking or disturbing others.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
