Is it permissible to speak to the Imam for a necessity or to ask him a religious ruling during the Khutbah?

Primary text

Speaking to the Imam due to a necessity or to inquire about a religious ruling is permissible. This is evidenced by the preceding report concerning the interaction with Sulayk and the questioning by Umar, which indicates that addressing necessary matters or seeking clarification does not negate the required attentiveness.
