Folding the hands during the khutbah

Q: 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?

A: 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.
