Summary
The committee ruled that supplicating while the imam sits between the two sermons is good. Scholars differ on the times when prayers are most readily accepted, and the imam's sitting between the two sermons is included among the times discussed. Mosques and surau that do not have the bilal recite supplications and salawat are advised not to do so, leaving worshippers to pray individually. Those that already do so may stop, or the bilal may recite only the customary supplication. Khatibs are prohibited from saying anything after the sermon while the bilal gives the iqamah, and the bilal should give it only after nearly reaching his prayer mat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdoa ketika imam duduk di antara dua khutbah adalah baik.
