Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a questioner from America who says: Is it permissible for me to listen to the recitation of the Qur'an from an innovator, meaning that he does not have a beard and is not upon the methodology of the Salaf?
Answer:
This is not an innovator; this is a sinner. The one who does not have a beard, meaning he shaves his beard, is not called an innovator; he is called a sinner. It is said that he is a sinner. And if you find someone who is better than him and more mindful of Allah, take the Qur'an from him.
