What Should You Do between the Two Khutbahs of Jumu`ah Prayer?

Question:

What shall I say when the Imam sits between the two khutbahs (Sermon) of Jumu`ah (Friday Prayer)? 

Answer:

Friday Prayer is a congregational prayer which consists of two separate khutbahs and two rak`ahs led by the imam. This payer has rules and regulations taken from Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and every imam should follow them.

`Abdullah Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to give two khutbahs and he used to sit between them. (Al-Bukhari)

When Sheikh Ibn `Uthaymeen was asked if there a specific supplication or dhikr that a Muslim may say between the khutbahs of Jumuah. 

He said, “There is no specific dhikr or supplication (duaa), rather a person may say whatever supplication he wants, because this is a time when supplications are answered. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “On Friday there is a time when no Muslim slave asks Allah for something when he is standing and praying but He will give it to him.” (Agreed upon)

To know more about such ruling, you could watch this short talk with Dr. Muhammad Salah.
