Question

Usually a pulpit has three stairs. Many scholars say that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to sit on the upper steps and recite the khutbah while standing. So we should not sit on the upper stairs and recite Waz or Khutba. Again I see many, sitting on the first stairs to preach. But do not read the sermon. Sitting on the first step, he sometimes gives documents. Not everyone can accept it. So I am requesting you to overcome our hesitation by solving the above problem. 7826691983

The first wooden pulpit was built for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the Nawabi Mosque. It had three shelves or levels. For this reason it is sunnat to have three shelves in the pulpit. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to stand up and deliver the khutbah. Then Hazrat Abu Bakr. During his caliphate, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to give khutbah to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) while standing in the middle. Then Hazrat Umar. At the time of his caliphate, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and Hazrat Abu Bakr agreed. He used to give khutbah to the people standing at the bottom instead of standing at the top and in the middle. Now it is permissible for the Imam to give a standing sermon to anyone. Because all three methods have been proven by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his Companions. 3718275636
