The answer

We have not found any statements from the jurists regarding chanting the Qur'an during the Friday sermon. Chanting the Qur'an is commanded by Islamic law, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "He is not of us who does not chant the Qur'an," meaning, who does not beautify his voice with it. Some contemporary scholars view its impermissibility during the sermon, but the more probable opinion is that there is latitude in the matter. Therefore, whoever chants the Qur'an during the sermon will not be held accountable, due to the general evidence indicating the permissibility of chanting it.
