The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the previously mentioned hadith of Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him), the text of which is: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat on the pulpit one day and delivered a sermon to the people and recited a verse. Does that imply that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon while sitting on a Friday?
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not deliver a sermon while sitting; rather, he used to deliver the sermon while standing.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you: Is it permissible to deliver the sermon while sitting out of necessity?
The Shaykh:
If he is in need due to a heavy burden, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
