It is recommended for one who enters on Friday while the Imam is delivering the sermon to pray two light rak'ahs. The Imam should not forbid anyone from doing so, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded praying them at this time. As for the preacher speaking for a need, it is permissible.
