Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your view of the one who preaches after the Eid prayer these days in the mosques, but without ascending the pulpit, and instead stands before the people?
Answer:
If the pulpit is available, he ascends it, and he does not burden himself; as long as the pulpit is available, he ascends it. This is the practice of the Muslim. This is only if there is no pulpit. Yes.
