The Number of Steps on the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Minbar

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Is there a specific limit to the height of the minbar and its steps? In some mosques, the minbar is very low, while in others it reaches five meters. Is there anything new regarding this?

Answer:
It is mentioned in the hadith that raising the minbars is one of the signs of the Hour. This is one of the signs of the Hour. The minbar of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had three steps. It had three steps from the minbar of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He would climb two steps and sit on the third step. He would sit on the third step. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to sit on the third step. Abu Bakr came and sat on the second step out of humility. Then 'Umar came and sat on the first step out of humility. The minbar of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had three steps, so one should adhere to this.
