The Questioner says: What is the ruling on writing benefits in the Friday khutbah?
Answer: “A mistake. Allah magnified his reward in the reward of Jummah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
من مس الحصى فقد لغا
And whoever touches the pebbles, he has committed Lagha (useless activity).
[ Reported in Saheeh Muslim no. 857]
This is one who wants good, but who has made a mistake in its way. That is a time for silence not a time for recording. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
ثمَّ أتَى الجمعةَ فاستمع وأنصت . غُفر له ما بينه وبين الجمعةِ
…Then came to Friday prayer, listened (to the sermon), kept silence all (his sins) between that time and the next Friday would be forgiven”…
[Reported in Saheeh Muslim no. 857 ]
