Question: Does drinking water or making tawaf during the Khutbah enter into idle speech?
Answer: “Everything that busies from the khutbah like drinking water or other than that enters into idle speech. However, tawaf is something else and it is necessary for the people to listen to the khutbah. However, the one who is making tawaf is in worship and he wants to complete it; however, listening to the khutbah and breaking the tawaf is something desired”
