The ruling on a khatib relying on a cane during the khutbah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from Russia says: Our khatib places a special cane that he relies on during the Friday khutbah. Is this action part of the Sunnah, or is it, as he says, an affectation that is prohibited?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The important thing is that he preaches while relying on something, a cane. Whether the cane is on the minbar, as is common now, where they place a cane on the minbar and he takes it when he preaches, there is no objection. Yes, the matter is broad in this regard.
