Is it permissible to eat or drink during the Friday sermon inside the mosque?

The jurists differ on the ruling concerning drinking during the Friday sermon, with opinions ranging between detestability (karāhah) and prohibition (taḥrīm). The Hanafis and Malikis consider eating, drinking, speaking, and anything that contradicts listening attentively to be prohibited. In contrast, the Shafi'is and Hanbalis consider drinking to be detestable unless thirst becomes severe, in which case it is permissible. However, detestability for eating has not been mentioned by any jurist; rather, they have explicitly stated its prohibition.
