Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible for the khatib to drink water during the khutbah, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) drank milk on the Day of 'Arafah?
Answer:
The prescribed manner is that he is delivering the khutbah while standing on his mount, and he drinks while standing on his mount. However, there is no objection to the khatib drinking if he needs a sip while delivering the khutbah. This applies to the prayer; the one praying does not drink while he is praying.
