Can I Learn (verbally?) Between Yishtabach and Kaddish?

 

Question:

Our minyan often begins with only 8-9 people and the Chazan sometimes must wait at Borchu for a tenth. Can I say tehillim during this pause (between Yishtabach and Kaddish) or learn Rambam? Can I do so out loud?

 

Answer:

You may look in a sefer and learn without verbally saying the words.

 

שו”ת מעט מים סי’ מב. וראה בארוכה בשו”ת יביע אומר ח”ב או”ח סי’ ד.

P.S.: Accordingly, it is not possible to learn Chitas or Rambam then.

See here:

Is it important to say the words of Chitas and Sefer HaMitzvos, or just learning it (not verbally) suffices?

Is one permitted to say Tehillim in פסוקי דזמרה, or while waiting for the ש”צ before/after ישתבח?
