Question
After the first Jumuah Khutbah, the Imaam did not sit. Instead he gave a brief talk, then continued with the second Khutbah. Is this proper?
Answer
It is Sunnah, hence compulsory for the Imaam to sit between the two khutbahs on Friday. It is not permissible for him to do anything whatsoever after the first khutbah other than sitting down, and immediately after the pause the second khutbah should be commenced.
