The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the turning of the cloak, is it done before the sermon or after it?

The cloak is turned after the end of the sermon. If the imam turns his cloak, the congregation turns their cloaks and supplicates to Allah.
The questioner:
This includes both women and men.
The Shaykh:
It includes the men, but as for the women, I do not know that they turn their cloaks; it is for the men. As for the supplication, it includes both men and women.
