The answer

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade speaking while the Imam delivers the Friday sermon. Therefore, it is not permissible for any of those present to speak, as it was narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "If you say to your companion, 'Be silent,' on Friday while the Imam is delivering the sermon, you have engaged in idle talk." Exceptions to this are what the scholars have explicitly stated, such as saying 'Ameen' to the Imam's supplication and speaking to him for a beneficial reason. As for repeating verses or hadiths with the Imam, it is not legislated; rather, it is forbidden because it contradicts the commanded attentiveness.
