Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And regarding shirk (associating partners with Allah), is it obligatory for the khatib to deliver the khutbah while holding a staff in his hand? What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
Yes, among the sunnah (recommended practices) of the khutbah is that the khatib delivers it while relying on something, relying on a staff or on the edge of the minbar, the end of the minbar. He relies on something because this steadies him and helps him deliver the khutbah. He relies on something, a bow, a staff, or the edge of the minbar; this is better than him holding nothing, because this steadies him.
