Folding the hands during the khutbah
Question
Is it a bid’ah to fold the hands in the first part of the khutbah and then put them on the knees on the second part of the khutbah?
Answer
Folding the hands during the khutbah is not established in the sunnah. Hence, one should refrain from folding the hands at this time.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
