Question:
Shaykh, we are in an Arab village in Maysan Governorate, south of Ta'if. In Ramadan, we think there are no imams, or no official imam in our mosque, and we need to bring imams from our Bengali or Burmese brothers. Some of them are not proficient in reading the Qur'an without mistakes. Is it permissible to pray with them or not?
Answer:
My brother, you should contact the mosque affairs department in Ta'if, and they will send you an imam who, praise be to Allah, has memorized the Qur'an from the Qur'an memorization associations they have. They will send you someone to lead you in prayer in Ramadan. Yes.
