Question

After the Khutbah is given, is it proper for the Imaam to stand on the Mimbar and make announcements like of straightening Saffs, etc. or should he come off the Mimbar first?

It is correct for the Imaam to make a short announcement after terminating the Khutbah and before commencing Salaah, irrespective of whether he stands on the Mimbar or gets off the Mimbar, on condition that the announcement is not too long.
