Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the imam standing on Friday? Is it a recommended practice (sunnah) or obligatory?
Answer:
It is a recommended practice (sunnah). It is a recommended practice (sunnah) for the imam to stand on Friday. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver the sermon while standing. It is not reported that he delivered the Friday sermon while sitting. However, if the regular imam is unable to stand, there is no harm in him delivering the sermon while sitting due to the excuse. If it is permissible for him to pray while sitting due to the excuse, then the same applies to the sermon. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
