What is the ruling on moving between the rows during the khutbah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I have a second observation. For example, today the sound was very loud. Perhaps you heard that at the beginning of the khutbah, I started over a second time. I was a bit upset because it was a disturbance to the worshippers, and perhaps the sound would have been better for the listeners. Is there any sin on me for this? I mean, if something like this happened a second time. This first issue is, of course, finished, if Allah wills. Now, this is the second issue.
The Shaykh : Yes, regarding the second topic, where do you think you should be? In the back rows?
The questioner : I want to move from one place to another, but it does not mean I passed over the numbers.
The Shaykh : The problem was in the first issue, because if you were in your place, meaning near the minbar, there is no problem, even today,
The questioner : Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : So likewise, there is no problem if it is for the second issue, but the problem is passing over the necks.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
