Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling if he sits with the people until the time of the sermon, or if he engages in reminding them?
Answer:
The Sunnah (recommended practice) is for the preacher to come only at the time of the sermon and not to sit in the mosque with the people; this is the Sunnah. If he sits, when the time for prayer arrives, he comes to the pulpit, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. Yes.
