The ruling on one who has a bodily function while standing on the pulpit as the preacher
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
And another says: If the preacher has a bodily function while he is on the pulpit, what is his obligation?
The Shaykh:
If it is during the Friday prayer, he should descend and perform wudu. He should complete the sermon; the purity does not take precedence over the sermon. He completes the sermon, then performs wudu, then prays with the people. Or he should perform wudu, then pray with the people, then perform wudu. The purity does not take precedence over the sermon; he completes it, then after this he performs wudu, returns, and prays the Friday prayer with the people. And if he is able to pray with them at the end so as not to burden them, and he says, "So perform wudu and pray for the people," then there is no harm. Yes.
Yes.
