Admonishing Children while the Khutbah is being Delivered

Q: Salaah-524: Can children making a noise be admonished while the Khutbah is being delivered?

Answer: They may be admonished by indications of the hands and head but not by tongue. Speaking is Haraam while the Khutbah is in progress. The Khateeb may however admonish them verbally. And Allaah khows best what is most correct.
