Question:
I am asking about the preacher relying on a cane on Friday. Is there no harm in that, my brother?
Answer:
I answered this in the previous lesson. We said there is no harm in him relying on a cane, or a bow, or holding onto the edge of the pulpit and relying on the edge of the pulpit, because this steadies him and helps him deliver the sermon. He relies on something. It is recommended (sunnah) that he rely on something, whether a cane, a bow, the edge of the pulpit, or something else.
