Ruling on following the translation of the Friday khutbah on one’s cell phone whilst listening to it
Question: 233591
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
I put this question to our shaykh, ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan al-Barraak (may Allah preserve him) and he said:
There is nothing wrong with that, and this does not come under the heading of fidgeting that is prohibited, because it is done for a need, and not by way of messing about. End quote.
And Allah knows best.
