❖ Question
Is it permissible to say "As-salāmu ʿalaykum" during the Adhān or when the Khaṭīb is delivering the Friday sermon?❖ Answer
✔ Yes, saying salām during either the Adhān or the Khutbah is permissible, and there is no Sharʿī prohibition against it.➤ During the Khutbah:
- Saying "As-salāmu ʿalaykum" does not disrupt the sermon.
- The person listening to the khutbah may respond with a gesture rather than verbally.
- This approach maintains respect for the khutbah while honoring Islamic etiquette.
➤ During the Adhān:
- Saying salām and responding to it during the Adhān is not problematic, as there is no explicit prohibition.
- The slow and spaced nature of the Adhān allows sufficient time to respond to both the Adhān and the salām.
However, avoiding unnecessary conversation during both the Adhān and Khutbah is preferable for maintaining spiritual focus and reverence.Reference:
