Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: In our current time, the staff is not used for people to pray facing it. So, if the imam for the Eid prayer carries a stick with him and delivers the sermon while it is with him, is this in the Sunnah?
Answer:
Nowadays, the norm is that Eid prayer grounds are built with prayer niches and pulpits; the situation has changed. But if he prays in a desert, he places something in front of him as a barrier, whether a stick, a stone, or something else. Yes.
