Assalamualaykum

Respected mufti saheb

What is sharee status of holding the asaa during the Friday arabic khutabah?

Please advice

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum Wa-Rahmatullāhi Wa-Barakātuh.

Holding a staff (ʿAsā) during the Friday khutbah is permissible. It is not a Sunnah Muakkadah, nor is it necessary for the validity of the khutbah.[1]

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
