Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1574. Commentary: In this narration, there is no mention of Eid, whereas in Musnad Ahmad (4/306) it is explicitly stated that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was delivering the Eid sermon to the people. It is also possible that the Imam’s reasoning is based on the generality of the matter. Therefore, if there are many people and the voice does not reach everyone, or if the Imam and preacher cannot be seen, then it is permissible to deliver the sermon while mounted on an animal, or on any other elevated object. However, deliberately bringing a pulpit (minbar) to the Eid prayer ground is not correct, as this would be considered an affectation (takalluf).

Benefits and Issues:
➊ This sermon was delivered on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada’).
➋ By “Habashi” is meant Bilal (radi Allahu anhu).
➌ It is permissible for a distinguished personality to take a minor service from someone.
➍ From this, it is understood that it is permissible to deliver a speech while mounted on a riding animal or similar means. This does not fall under the category of cruelty to animals, and when needed, a raised stage can also be constructed so that the speaker can be easily seen by the people.
