قَالَ مَالِك : السُّنَّةُ عِنْدَنَا أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ النَّاسُ الْإِمَامَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْطُبَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ يَلِي الْقِبْلَةَ وَغَيْرَهَا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that according to us, the Sunnah is that on the day of Jumu'ah, when the Imam begins the sermon, the people should face the Imam, whether they are near the Qiblah or in any other direction.
