The ruling on the preacher holding a staff during the sermon

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In our Friday mosques, some of the imams hold a staff while delivering the sermon, and others do not. What is your opinion?

Answer:
The imam holding a staff is a recommended practice (sunnah) following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for he used to lean on a bow or a staff during the sermon. This is among the recommended practices, not among the obligatory ones.
