Greeting of the Mosque During the Sermon

Question

If someone enters late while the imam is delivering the Friday sermon, should they perform the greeting of the mosque or sit down?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: It is necessary to sit and listen to the sermon, and performing prayer during the sermon is highly discouraged, and God knows best.
