The questioner : Is the prohibition of sitting in a crouched position with the sermon or before it?
The Shaykh : The prohibition of sitting in a crouched position is not specific to the sermon or to other times, but it is prohibited if a person fears that his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) might be exposed. For example, if he sits in a crouched position with his lower garment, his 'awrah might become exposed. However, if he does not fear the exposure of his 'awrah, there is nothing wrong with it, neither during the Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) sermon nor at other times.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
