Advising the Imam or the Mu'adhdhin to Appoint Someone to Pray in Their Place
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the foreigners, when he prays. Sometimes, in some of the wars, if the imam is not there, or the mu'adhdhin, and we do not desire his prayer until. In reality, completely, and its interpretation in the Qur'an, is it permissible for us, O Shaykh, to advise that he does not pray except to Allah?
Answer:
Yes, tell the imam to appoint one person, appoint one person by whom the conscience is cleared, and do not appoint one person by whom the conscience is not cleared, one who does not recite well, or appoint one who is not trustworthy in his creed or in his religion. Appoint one by whom the conscience is cleared, because prayer is a trust, and the imamate is a trust, so do not appoint for it except one who performs it in the prescribed manner.
The presenter:
May Allah keep you safe.
