The ruling on moving the hands during the Friday sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on moving the hands and using them during the Friday sermon?
The Shaykh:
No, he does not move his hands, nor does he use the miswak, nor does he return the salam to one who greeted him, nor does he move; rather, he listens and pays attention. Yes.
The questioner:
The questioner means when the preacher interacts with his sermon.
The Shaykh:
The preacher does not move either, nor does he gesture with his hands, nor does he look around; he faces forward and remains still, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. Yes, the Friday sermon is not like speeches that involve addressing the attendees on occasions; in the Friday sermon, one adheres to the Sunnah reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
