The Prohibition of Talking During Jumu’ah Khutbah in Islam

Understanding the Importance of Silence During the Friday Sermon

PROHIBITION OF TALK DURING JUMU’AH KHUTBAH

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you said to your companion: 'Be quiet and listen' on Friday while the Imām is delivering the sermon, then you would be guilty of idle talk." {al-Bukha‌ri‌ 892, Muslim 851}

Al-Nawawi said, “In this tradition is the prohibition of every kind of talking during the sermon.” {Sharh‌ al-Nawawi‌ ‘ala‌ S‌ah‌i‌h‌ Muslim 851}

The Prophet ﷺ also said:

"Whoever performs ablution in an excellent manner, comes to Friday prayer, and listens while remaining quiet, his sins will be forgiven until the next Friday and an additional three days, but whoever fiddles with pebbles has engaged in idle action." {Muslim 857}.

Concerning “whoever fiddles with pebbles has engaged in idle action.” An-Nawawi mentioned, “It means prohibition of fiddling with pebbles and the like during the Khutbah, and what is meant by idle action here is what is false, rejected and disliked.”

{Sharh‌ al-Nawawi‌ ‘ala‌ S‌ah‌i‌h‌ Muslim 857}
