Is it permissible for me to offer Nafilah Prayers during the Jumu`ah Prayer while the Imam is delivering the Khutbah?

Q 7: Is it permissible for me to offer Nafilah (supererogatory) Prayers during the Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer while the Imam is delivering the Khutbah (sermon)?


A: If you enter the Masjid (mosque) on Friday while the Imam is delivering the Khutbah, you should offer Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid (two-unit Prayer to salute the mosque) and sit to listen to the Khutbah. If you were already in the Masjid before the Imam enters, it would be impermissible for you to stand during the Khutbah to offer Nafilah because you are required to listen attentively to the Khutbah and to keep away from any distraction.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
