Question

Hello, I wanted to ask if I am in prayer before "Ki Ata Shomea" and hear the Kedusha, am I allowed to recite the Kedusha since it is no worse than personal requests, or is it forbidden? I would appreciate receiving sources. Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello

Do not respond, and remain silent and listen to the Kedusha from the chazan.

There are several reasons for this. A. A general rule was made, and they prohibited any response during one's prayer. B. Fear of confusion. C. In "Shomea Tefila," one may only add requests, not mentions.

Eshel Avraham (Butchatch) Siman 104:
Not for Kaddish. The reason one should not respond "Amen, Yehei Shmei Rabba" during the prayer, even though in "Shomea Tefila" requests are added, is due to the general rule made by the Rabbis. Also, some say not to add requests for the many, thus it is also correct not to respond "Amen, Yehei Shmei Rabba" due to confusion, and because of the general rule not to respond even when adding requests for the many in "Shomea Tefila":
