The questioner : Is it part of the Sunnah for the preacher to carry a cane? Is there any evidence regarding this?
The Shaykh : No, it is not part of the Sunnah. However, if he has a need for the cane, he may carry it whenever he walks, ascend the pulpit with it, and deliver the sermon, and there is no harm in that. But if he intentionally carries the cane, that is not part of the Sunnah in any way.
The questioner : In a second question.
The Shaykh : Okay.
