Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for the Friday khatib to explain to the people how to perform the takbir with movement, such that it is level with the shoulders or facing the ears, so that he clarifies to the listener how to pray?
Answer:
In the khutbah, the hands are not moved, and no gestures are made. There is no stillness, stability, lack of movement, or turning away by the khatib. These are among the etiquettes of the khutbah. He should face forward and not turn his head. Yes.
