Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In some mosques, the minbar is raised very high, so high that the preacher who is delivering the sermon is barely visible. The minbar is raised so high that the people in the first or second row cannot see the preacher. He asks: Is this prescribed?
Answer:
No, no, this is not prescribed. The height should be only as much as is needed. As for it being raised very high, I think there is a report about it, or that it is one of the signs of the Hour: the raising of minbars in mosques. Yes.
