Q 2: It was authentically reported that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stated:
Whoever fiddles with pebbles during the Khutbah (sermon), has engaged in idle vain acts and whoever engages in vain acts, there is no Jumu`ah for him ( will not earn the reward of Jumu`ah, Friday Prayer).
Or words said by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to that effect. Remarkably,
some people use Miswak (tooth-cleansing stick) and twiddle with basil leaves during the Khutbah.
Therefore, does the ruling on using the Miswak and twiddling with basil come under that of fiddling with pebbles?
A:
Using the Miswak and the twiddling with basil while the Khatib is delivering the Khutbah is not permissible as is fiddling with pebbles.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
