What is the Shari'ah ruling regarding the long pulpit that cuts across the rows?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... the occasion brought us to this point, to speak about the pulpit; yes, indeed; the pulpit should not be moved, it should be cut, because if we move it, it means we are supporting the new religious innovation.
The questioner: The discussion, Shaykh, was about saving on the metal sheet...
The Shaykh: The mihrab, I mean, by its height.
The questioner: In reality, in the current situation, with the presence of the imam, if he moves forward...
The Shaykh: This statement is correct, my brother, but we do not value material savings if they contradict the Shari'ah values; I remember well that Western clothing now, especially some clothing related to women, has economic savings, but this is contrary to the Shari'ah, so what is the value of this saving? The point is that we do not look at the material aspect of the issue.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : May Allah have mercy on him.
