If we build our mosque and place the pulpit to the imam's left during prayer, is there any harm in that?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we want to build a mosque. If we place the pulpit in the other side instead of where it is in the usual mosques, so that it is to the imam's left during prayer, is this permissible?

Answer:
Do you not consult the mosque affairs department? Do not change anything in the mosque without consulting the mosque affairs department. They look into it; they have conventions and matters, and they have legal rulings that they implement in the mosques. Consult them. Yes.
