Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to pray behind one who lets his garment hang below the ankles and one who shaves his beard?
Answer:
The prayer is permissible, but he commits a sin by letting his garment hang below the ankles and shaving his beard; he is the one who sins. As for the prayer itself, it is valid. If he finds someone better than him as an imam, someone better than him, he should go and pray with him. But he does not leave the congregational prayer just because the imam lets his garment hang below the ankles or shaves his beard. Yes.
