Is it permissible to place minbars in prayer halls?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Does not the author’s statement, “Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) descended to the women,” imply the permissibility of placing minbars in prayer halls?

The Shaykh:
You heard the Shaykh’s answer to him: there is no minbar in it, but perhaps he descended from a high place on the ground. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.

The questioner:
And this questioner says: he cannot.

The Shaykh:
There is no minbar in it, and placing a minbar, if a minbar is placed, there is no minbar in it, and the Muslims did not denounce it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,

The questioner:
And this questioner says: if.

The Shaykh:
What they denounced of Marwan was his taking the Prophet’s minbar (peace and blessings be upon him) from the mosque to the prayer hall; that is what they denounced in him. Yes.
