Question
Is it Sunnah to hold the asaa when delivering the Jumuah Khutbah?
Answer
In fact, the Barelwi bid'atis believe that it is waajib. The asaa which is a decorated staff kept in some Musjids, is a bid'ah ornament. It has no relationship with the Sunnah. The asaa is not part of the Khutbah's etiquettes. Even a Mustahab becomes bid'ah if it is elevated to the status of Wujoob.
