Question:
Is it permissible for the khatib to move his hands while he is on the minbar?
Answer:
The khatib does not move his hands or gesture with them during the khutbah, because this was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, he delivers the khutbah facing the people, holds the edge of the minbar, or leans on a staff, and does not move his hands, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do that. This is only done in other sermons, not the Friday khutbah. May Allah reward you with good.
