Please could someone put this question to one of the Mashaykh so that the people can be on clarity the next time there is a linkup and make the answer available to the people barakhAllaahu feekum, I am sure it could inshaAllaah be inserted amongst the many questions that are asked in the link-ups and posted on this forum, may Allah reward you with khair, ameen.
We know it is from the Sunnah to have a mimbar (pulpit) for the Juma'ah Khutbah. But is it permissible to have a podium (i.e., something to put your notes on whilst delivering the khutbah)?
I believe this is something often used in churches when the priests deliver their sermons as a revert brother informed me.
Could someone please enlighten us on this issue barakhAllaahu feekum by asking the people of dhikr?
