Q: In out musjid it has started to become a fashion to say Ameen loudly when imam makes dua in khutba. Is saying ameen loudly as established practice? Jazakallah

A: The khutbah is a formal part having its own set of Adab (ettiqute). Musalleen are expected to listen quietly and attentively without interrupting. The companions (RA) maintained silence during the khutbah out of respect, and if any sound was made, it was the exception rather than the norm. While saying “Ameen” may make a person feel good, it can become a nuisance for others, and a Muslim should avoid causing inconvenience to others.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
