Aḥmad Ibn Yaḥyá al-Winsharīsī narrated a fatwá in his al-Miʿyār al-Muʿrab wal-Jāmiʿ al-Maghrib ʿan Fatāwī ʿUlamāʾ Ifrīqiyyah wal-Andalus wal-Maghrib (2/485) under the heading ‘The Innovation of Calling Out to Listen Before the Start of the Khuṭbah of Jumuʿah Was Done in Tilmasān, and Not in Fez’, from Abī ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad Ibn ʿAbd Al-Muʾmin al-Tāzī that he mentioned, “And from (these innovations) is that which some people say, from the innovated practice of saying out loud (similar to the adhān) when the Khaṭīb is about to commence the Jumuʿah khuṭbah (before the actual adhān) by calling out, ‘Mālik narrated from Abī Zinād from al-Aʿraj from Abī Hurayrah that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) stated, ‘If you say to your companion, ‘Be quiet’, while the imām is giving the khuṭbah of Jumuʿah, then you have engaged in idle speech.’ Listen, and may Allāh have mercy upon you.”

Ibn al-Ḥāj stated, “And what is strange is that some people rebuke Mālik—may Allāh have mercy upon him—for his taking (fiqh positions) from the actions of the people of Madīnah, yet they deem this particular action as being good, using as proof of its validity it being an action of the people of Shām and a longstanding practice of theirs.”

The people of Tilmasān continued to act upon this narration, and the action of the people of Fez was to leave it; and this is the correct position.
